Achtemeier has produced a succinct, passionately written exposition which merits, and rewards, thoughtful reading and sustained reflection. One might not always agree with it, or with Paul's Romans, but one will engage vigorously stated Pauline theology. This commentary, shaped by Scripture and offered to the Christian community sorely in need of more than trendy theology, has done what it set out to do, and it has done it remarkably well.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book for teachers, students, and preachers.
