I was given a free copy of Anders Nygren's Commentary on Romans that was unwanted awhile ago. It's just sat on my bookshelf, but I was wondering if any of you knew anything about him or his theology. What I'm trying to figure out is whether or not I could use the Commentary being aware of error or whether or not I should just pitch it.
From what I've been able to find, he was a Swedish Lutheran Professor of Systematic Theology, wrote about the Christian concept of "agape" and was pretty supportive of an ecumenical message. The last part alarms me, but I figured I would check with my brothers and sisters on Puritan Board before I just threw away a commentary. Additionally, I'm hoping to get Sproul's commentary on Romans for Christmas so I'm certainly not planning on making it my primary Commentary for Romans. I just was curious as to whether or not it has any business being on my bookshelf.
Thanks.
