Commentaries on Romans

[goretorade]

for my romans class we are using leon morris and douglas moo...just wondering what anyone thought about these two commentaries and their authors? are there any other commentaries (besides calvin) that anyone would recommend?

while it's a monster, Thomas Schreiner's commentary in the Baker Exegetical Commentary series.

I REALLY like the William Hendriksen New Testament Commentary by Baker.

I REALLY like the William Hendriksen New Testament Commentary by Baker.

Hendriksen is great and I look forward to Schreiner's work, but although it is more devotional in nature, I have greatly benefitted from reading Lloyd-Jones' work on Romans.

FF Bruce is accessible enough for your average Sunday School class. I don't know what kind of class you are talking about.

Cranfield's two volumes in the ICC series (1975 and 1979). Thorough scholarship and, unusual for a technical commentary, elegant writing.

Cranfield will be 92 in September, by the way...

I use, amongst others, John Gill and Charles Hodge.

See N.T Wright's commentary in the Interpretation series. Very thought provoking and accessible.

Hi:

AV1611 already mentioned Hodge's commentary. Haldane's is very good as well.

See N.T Wright's commentary in the Interpretation series.

It's actually really good on a few points, notably the translation of hilasmos/hilasterion as "propitation." It is also good on Christ as the Second Adam motifs. He tends to beat a dead horse after a while, though.

Been through Moo twice, I think it is the best. A good modern comentator brings in the best of arguments from dozens of comentaries.
