Romans: Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC)

“David Peterson has composed a great volume on Romans that is both a terrific survey of its themes and an able commentary on its text. Careful, learned, and judicious.”

“It is a pleasure to commend this fine commentary on the apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans. Among the plethora of commentaries on this letter, Peterson’s stands out with its blend of carefully nuanced exegesis, overarching biblical theology, sensible interaction with contemporary scholarship, and pleasing concision and clarity. Highly recommended.”

“The last few years have seen an explosion in technical commentaries on Romans appearing on the market. A capable translator of the ancient text, David Peterson has also translated the best of those discussions and placed them into a single, accessible volume for pastors and students of Scripture. This is the first book they will reach for on Romans.”

“A career of research involving both fine-grained New Testament exegesis and biblical-theological integration makes David Peterson an ideal person to write this exposition of Romans. The verse-by-verse commentary is brimming with insightful exegesis, and the elucidation of the biblical-theological themes of Romans contains a careful and powerful articulation of the gospel. I think Paul would like this commentary!”

“David Peterson has written a concise but thorough commentary on Paul’s most important letter. He interacts with the biblical text, biblical theology, and biblical scholarship on Romans and so adds a significant volume to the Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary series. In keeping with the goal of that series, Peterson’s work is based on an analysis of the Greek text but is still accessible to individuals who are actively engaged in ministries of preaching and teaching Scripture. They should find this volume a helpful addition to their libraries.”

“In the Bible, as one pundit put it, all roads lead to Romans. Indeed no book in the New Testament has more connections with the Old Testament than Romans. Understanding those connections, reading Romans in the light of the storyline of the whole Bible is vital both for accurate interpretation and responsible preaching of the book. David Peterson’s commentary does an outstanding job of equipping preachers of the letter to do just that. Highly recommended.”

“David Peterson’s contribution to this important new series of commentaries is both impressive in its scholarship and admirable in its accessibility. David’s long immersion in this magnificent epistle gives strength and maturity to his judgments and repeatedly yields fresh insights, while his pastoral heart has ensured that the significance of Paul’s message for Christians, the church, and the world is made abundantly clear. Placing Romans firmly in its biblical theological framework is richly rewarding. Scholars and preachers alike will benefit from this commentary.”
