A Commentary on Romans 1–8
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
This verse-by-verse exegetical commentary on the Greek text of Romans chapters 1–8 demonstrates that Paul’s letter to the Romans deals with three basic truths of Christian faith: sin, acquittal, and thankful Christian living. The commentary begins with a brief discussion of the author, date, place, recipients, and purpose of the book of Romans. David Kuske shows how Paul addresses the failure of both Gentiles and Jews to live perfect lives as God’s law requires. He also examines Paul’s explanation of Christian life and sanctification, and his clear presentation of God’s grace to sinners. This commentary contains 27 charts and 57 Greek sentence diagrams from Paul’s letter. Learn more about Paul’s theology and argumentation with this commentary.
