Romans (2010 Matera), book

Frank J. Matera, Romans (Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament; Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Academic, 2010).

Abstract

"In this volume, respected New Testament scholar Frank Matera examines cultural context and theological meaning in Romans. This commentary, like each in the eighteen-volume Paideia series, approaches each text in its final, canonical form, proceeding by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Each sense unit is explored in three sections: (1) introductory matters, (2) tracing the train of thought, (3) key hermeneutical and theological questions. Graduate and seminary students, professors, and pastors will benefit from this readable commentary, as will theological libraries."--Publisher description.
