Paul's Letter to the Romans: A Commentary (2011 Hultgren), book

Paul's Letter to the Romans: A Commentary (2011) is a book by Arland J. Hultgren.

Abstract

"Building on his own translation from the Greek, Hultgren walks readers through Romans verse by verse, illuminating the text with helpful comments, probing into major puzzles, and highlighting the letter's most inspiring features. He also demonstrates the forward-looking, missional character of Paul's epistle -- written, as Hultgren suggests, to introduce Roman Christians to the major themes of Paul's theology and to inspire in them both confidence in the soundness of his teaching and support for his planned missionary efforts in Spain."--Publisher description.
