Top Highlights

“First, the Holy Spirit is the key to the Christian life, blessing the believer with justification, obedience, indwelling, and the hope of the resurrection, confirming inclusion in God’s family, and making Christians participants in the heavenly inheritance. These blessings of the new covenant far outdo the failures of the old covenant. Second, Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection and the Holy Spirit’s residence in believers grant them unparalleled spiritual intimacy with God as their Father, even as Abba.” (Page 169)

“First, Christian commitment is based on God’s mercy. The imperative proceeds from the indicative. Second, serving Christ is a sacrifice; it means a daily decision to part company with this age and to align oneself with the age to come, the kingdom of God. Third, the key to it all is to continually renew one’s mind to think the thoughts of God. Fourth, doing the will of God is worth the effort, for God’s will is the only way to go.” (Page 237)

“In 1:21–24 there is an implied connection between idolatry and immorality. The bottom line for Paul is that God’s wrath upon those who reject him as the Creator often takes the form of letting people suffer the consequences of getting what they want. To put it another way, we become like that which we worship.” (Page 37)

“The second contrast is that the old covenant pertained only to Jews, but the new covenant includes Gentiles (3:23–24” (Page 78)

“Paul was a product of three worlds: Greco-Roman, Jewish, and Christian” (Page 1)

As a teacher and preacher of Romans, I am grateful for Dr. Marvin Pate's excellent resource in Baker's Teach the Text Commentary Series. I have searched long and hard for the right commentary to recommend to my undergraduate students and zealous parishioners. Now I will look no further! I read everything that Dr. Pate writes because he is not only a world-class scholar but also a pastoral practitioner. I have found his treatment of the Epistle of Romans to be the perfect blend of scholarship and application. I will use it as my required textbook and recommend it broadly.
