An exposition of Romans by a leading New Testament scholar. This volume by one of the 20th Century's most respected New Testament scholars explores the book of Romans verse-by-verse, explaining Paul's vision of the gospels in both theological and practical terms. With close attention to the historical context of the book, Dodd illuminates Paul's magnum opus message by interpreting the text as a document "written for believers" who seek to understand who Christ is and why he came.Accessible to all readers, Dodd explains Greek terms that can be easily understood and address difficulties in the book in a straightforward manner. Dodd usually widely accepted historical-critical exegetical methods--a method espoused by most mainstream biblical commentators--to bring this great book to life.
