"Do not lets its Brevity deceive you, dear reader. This book is excellent. Craig Keener has done an amazing job of bringing out the main point of each periscop in the book of Romans." Jason L. Skipper, Pastoral Musings, 08, 2011. "By grounding his exposition of Romans in the world of the first century, yet keeping his eye ... Read moreon the needs and concerns of the contemporary world, Keener offers here a rare commodity: a lucid commentary that is simultaneously conversant with the latest biblical scholarship and pastorally sensitive." John T. Fitzgerald, University of Miami, USA and North-West University, South Africa "Craig Keener has written a marvelous commentary that will prove to be a valuable tool for ministers, students, and scholars alike. By insightfully introducing and contextualizing, as well providing excurses that guide the reader from ancient to modern times, Keener has done with excellence what a commentary should do." Manfred Lang, Martin Luther University, Halle-Wittenberg "Keener here offers 176 pages of commentary on Romans (including six pages on homosexuality in ch. 1). His wide knowledge of Graeco-Roman literature and background is evident (the textual indices alone comprise 56 pages), and the work features some short sections helping to fuse the horizon of Paul and the modern reader. Keener's approach is eclectic, with a slight emphasis on insights from rhetorical criticism." Michael B. Thompson: Journal for the Study of the New Testament, Vol. 34 (5), August 2012 "...Keener's Romans would serve well both as a broader, simpler commentary or as a second opinion alongside a large work..."
