Paul’s majestic letter to the Romans has impacted generations of readers. Christians regularly turn to it as a foundation for theology and practice. All too often, however, individual verses are pulled from their context or later doctrinal formulations are mapped onto the text. Are we truly understanding Paul? What if we return to Romans on its own terms?
Aaron Sherwood’s Romans commentary keeps Paul’s argument central. Sherwood traces the flow and rhetoric of Paul’s reasoning throughout. As readers reencounter the letter, detailed structural diagrams ensure the forest is never lost for the trees.
Guided by Sherwood’s careful attentiveness, readers will be rewarded with illuminating and sometimes surprising insights.
