The New International Commentary (NIC) is decades-long project has become recognized by scholars, pastors, and serious Bible students as critical yet orthodox commentary marked by solid biblical scholarship within the evangelical Protestant tradition. The NIC serves as authoritative scriptural guides, bridging the cultural gap between today’s world and the Bible’s. Each volume in the series aims to help us hear God’s word as clearly as possible. This volume takes on Paul’s letter to the Romans, which has been called “the quintessence and perfection of saving doctrine.” In this volume respected New Testament scholar Douglas J. Moo provides a superb study of Paul's letter to the Roman Christians and restates the enduring message of Romans for Christians today.
Based on the English text while incorporating the underlying Greek throughout, this commentary focuses both on theological meaning and on contemporary significance. Moo contributes to the continuing debate regarding Paul’s teaching on such issues as Jewish law and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the people of God. He also critically interacts with “the new perspective on Paul,” highlights Romans’s emphasis on “practical divinity,” and traces the gospel throughout the epistle.
