Yes he does; "Probably the best Romans commentary now available is still the new ICC work by C.EB. Cranfield (2 vol 1975-1979) Occasionally Cranfield seems more influenced by Barth than by Paul, but for thoughtful exegesis of the Greek text, with a careful weighing of alternative positions there is nothing quite like it."Thanks for this!
Does he offer any extended comment on Cranfield?
The 1993 edition has 5 pages briefly evaluating commentaries of Romans alone, the 2001 revision 7 pages. He includes glosses on Karl Barth, who he has some praise for, and J.D.G. Dunn, which surprised me. He mentions the influence of Saunders on the new perspective, and specifies commentaries which address both sides of the issues growing out of that.
