Overview

Of all of Paul's letters, Romans is the one most immersed in the Old Testament. David G. Peterson situates Romans within the grand redemptive story of the Bible: creation, sin, Abraham's call and covenant, Israel's reception of and failure to keep the law, and God's great promises of salvation. Peterson reads Romans as Paul's exposition and defense of the gospel with unique theological insights into the Trinity, righteousness and justification, Israel and the church, apostolic ministry, and true worship and holy living. The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon--all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.

David Peterson has written a concise but thorough commentary on Paul's most important letter. Peterson's work is based on an analysis of the Greek text but is still accessible to individuals who are actively engaged in ministries of preaching and teaching Scripture. They should find this volume a helpful addition to their libraries. --John D. Harvey, dean and professor of New Testament, Columbia Biblical Seminary of Columbia International University David Peterson has composed a great volume on Romans that is both a terrific survey of its themes and an able commentary on its text. Careful, learned, and judicious. --Michael F. Bird, lecturer in Theology, Ridley College, Melbourne Among the plethora of commentaries on this letter, Peterson's stands out with its blend of carefully nuanced exegesis, overarching biblical theology, sensible interaction with contemporary scholarship, and pleasing concision and clarity. Highly recommended. --Constantine Campbell, associate professor of New Testament, Trinity International University A career of research involving both fine-grained New Testament exegesis and biblical-theological integration makes David Peterson an ideal person to write this exposition of Romans. The verse-by-verse commentary is brimming with insightful exegesis, and the elucidation of the biblical-theological themes of Romans contains a careful and powerful articulation of the gospel. I think Paul would like this commentary! --Simon Gathercole, reader in New Testament, University of Cambridge; fellow and director of studies in Theology, Fitzwilliam College
