Overview

Until now, most commentaries on biblical texts have reflected the cultural and philosophical biases of the commentator, not those of the biblical author. This has resulted in either missing or misconstruing the intent of the original writer, to the detriment of genuine understanding. Paul’s letter to the Romans, in particular, has suffered from this treatment, and the varying and conflicting conclusions reached have led to many of the controversies that now bedevil the church. In this commentary, the Rev. Robert McLeod uses the tools of Hebrew rhetoric that guided the thoughts and words of the apostle Paul as he wrote Romans, to reveal new and revolutionary aspects of what his message was to his Roman audience and to us today. This commentary is of interest to all who are concerned with evangelism, ecumenism, or simply finding peace with God.

Praise for Romans

This slim volume should be at the elbow of every priest attempting to exegete the book of Romans to their congregations. I heartily recommend this book."
--David Virtue, Virtueonline

"My parish is working through McLeod’s book on Romans, and I must say I find it superb! I have been filming the classes and will put them on our social media pages when I have a chance. I just wanted to write and say how much I enjoy this book--its clarity, intelligence, and passion. Well done, Robert."
--George Conger, executive editor, Anglican Ink
