At some point I’d like to go over this book again in future studies and look further at his explanation on Romans 9-11. Keller he writes in an easy to understand style. The excellent series God’s Word For You which aims to be Bible-centered, Christ-glorifying, relevantly applied, and easily accessible has entered the conversation on Romans with their recent volume Romans 8-16 For You by Dr. What has been needed and is still needed are books on Romans that aren’t technical but accessible for the lay person who has no knowledge of Greek. From the early church fathers, to Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Piper, Sproul, MacArthur, and Moo (who has written so many commentaries, books, and articles on Romans alone I’ve lost count!) the endless literature on Romans is truly impressive. The wealth of material on the book of Romans is seemingly unending. It’s one of my “favorite” books in the Bible along with Psalms and the Gospel of John. Over the years I’ve read two dozen commentaries on the book of Romans. John Piper spent eight out of his thirty-three years in pastoral ministry working through Romans. Pastor Donald Barnhouse spent some fifteen years on the book of Romans. Some of the best theologians and teachers of the Church have devoted their entire lives to mining the depths of Romans and have provided some of the best commentaries on this vital biblical book. The Book of Romans has a long and rich tradition in the history of the Church.
