Synopsis:

Paul's letter to the Romans has been called ''the quintessence and perfection of saving doctrine.'' Perhaps the most challenging and thoroughly doctrinal book of the entire New Testament, Romans deals with many issues that are basic to Christian theology and practice. In this volume respected New Testament scholar Douglas J. Moo provides a superb study of Paul's letter to the Roman Christians and restates the enduring message of Romans for Christians today. Based on the English text but bringing into the discussion the underlying Greek at every point, this commentary focuses both on theological meaning and on contemporary significance. Moo contributes to the continuing debate regarding Paul's teaching on such issues as Jewish law and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles in the people of God. He also critically interacts with ''the new perspective on Paul,'' highlights Romans's emphasis on ''practical divinity,'' and traces the theme of gospel throughout the epistle. Twelve years in the making and a steady seller during its first decade in print, Moo's Epistle to the Romans will continue to serve as a standard exposition of Romans. - AWARDS and RECOGNITIONS - Christianity Today, Number 9 on the Top 25 Books of the Year list (1997)
