"Fully
conversant with contemporary literature on Romans and with the thought
of the apostle. Dr. Mounce has given us his mature reflection on
Paul's theological masterwork. It is a commentary that will both
teach and edify even when, here or there, the reader may opt for
a different interpretation. I intend to use it and gladly commend
it to others."
-- E. Earle Ellis
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
Fort Worth, Texas
" John
Calvin said in the introduction to his commentary on the Epistle
to the Romans that the best thing an interpreter can do is to make
the meaning of the text clear and to do it with as few words as
possible. He called it 'lucid brevity.' Dr. Mounce has achieved
this in his commentary. The reader is brought quickly to the meaning
of the text in language that is easy, even delightful to read. Evidence
of the scholarship that brought the author to the meaning may be
found in the footnotes. These features along with Dr. Mounce's sensitivity
to the spiritual implications of the text make this commentary especially
valuable for the busy pastor and layperson."
--Walter W. Wessel

"This is a remarkable work on Romans from one of our generation's
most able expositors. Robert Mounce has captured the breadth, depth,
and height of this majestic epistle with perceptive insight, thorough
scholarship, and evangelical vitality. No one who cares about Paul's
masterful and passionate declaration of the Christian faith will
dare neglect this concise and elegant interpretation of it."
--David Hubbard
