Description: Pauline scholar Thomas Schreiner presents a fresh analysis of the substantive Book of Romans. Each exegetical unit of this commentary is divided into four parts: (1) introduction, theme summary, and structural outline; (2) translation; (3) paragraph-by-paragraph exegesis and exposition; and (4) additional notes that comment on unique themes of a passage, interpretive problems, textual variants, and other critical issues. This volume also includes these helpful design features: shaded text gives a broad overview of each exegetical unit, its place in Romans, and the way Paul expected his readers to respond to his words, unshaded portions dissect the intricacies of the Greek text, and a running outline at the top of each page keeps readers aware of their position in the overall structure of the book. - Product description, christianbook.com
