Paul's Letter to the Romans (Pillar New Testament Commentary)

“Colin Kruse’s Romans will take its place among the best of the best English commentaries on Paul’s magisterial epistle. It is extraordinarily comprehensive while being also transparently readable. The commentary is textually insightful and theologically robust within the Reformed tradition... Congratulations for the achievement of a lifetime.”

“This comprehensive commentary on Paul’s supreme theological achievement, which was motivated by his pastoral responsibility, is an anchor contribution to Pauline studies.”

“In recent decades (to go back no further), Romans has called forth a disturbingly large array of interpretations. That means a good commentary must not only provide a reliable unpacking of the text, but it must also be a useful guide to the plethora of books and essays that swirl around this letter. Enter Colin Kruse. ... It is a pleasure to commend this commentary and include it in the series..”

“The Pillar New Testament Commentary series has already distinguished itself as the finest up-to-date, mid-range commentary series on the market today, with virtually every volume produced thus far of exceptional quality. Colin Kruse’s volume maintains this high standard. ... Kruse always lets the reader clearly know why he has chosen the positions that he has and is eminently fair to those he ultimately rejects. Written by a veteran scholar and teacher, this commentary merits wide usage and a warm reception.”

“Among the many commentaries available on Romans today, Colin Kruse’s Pillar volume stands out for its combination of academic depth and accessibility. He accurately and readably summarizes the many current controversies about aspects of Romans’ meaning and theology while pursuing his own clear and balanced explanation of the meaning of the text.”
