Romans 1-8 (Wycliffe Exegetical Commentary)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Persuading readers that yet another commentary on Paul’s Epistle to the Romans is really needed may be an impossible task, but at least one may say that Doug Moo’s commentary is a welcome addition. Like several other recent commentaries on Romans, this one will be two large volumes and will provide discussions of most of the theological and exegetical issues of the epistle. As would be expected in this series and from a NT professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, the explanation of Romans offered here is conservative and evangelical in its approach. Although granting that Romans is not a systematic theology, this volume describes itself as ‘a reassertion of the Reformers’ theology in light of current scholarship and contemporary challenges to that interpretation’.

Dr. Douglas J. Moo, professor of New Testament, teaches at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois. For over twenty years, his ministry was based at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. His academic interests revolve around the interface of exegesis and theology.
Dr. Moo seeks to model to students a rigorous approach to the Greek text that always asks the “so what” questions of ultimate significance and application. The Pauline and General Letters have been his special focus within the NT canon. In the next few years, he will be writing commentaries on Galatians and Hebrews, a Pauline theology, and a theological and practical book on creation care.
He has also been active in his local church, serving as elder most years, teaching and preaching to the church, and conducting home Bible studies. Also very rewarding has been his service on the Committee on Bible Translation, the group of scholars charged with revising the text of the NIV and with producing the TNIV.
He and his wife, Jenny, have five grown children.
