Abstract: This commentary on Romans is a rich gift to the contemporary church, its lay leaders, pastors, and scholars. John E. Toews gives new eyes for readers to see what the central message of Romans really is. "In the believers' church the book of Romans has always held a central place. Toews makes it possible for all thinking Christians to understand Romans. That 'strange warming of the heart, ' renewal of the mind, empowering of the will, and obedient faith all come together in this book. The interpreters of the believers' church have come of age."--William Klassen, University of Waterloo, Ontario A part of the Believers Church Bible Commentary Series. - Publisher.
