Title: The Epistle to the Romans (New International Commentary on the New Testament) by Douglas J. Moo ISBN: 0-8028-2317-3 Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Pub. Date: September, 1996 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $60.00 |

Rating: 5
Summary: An Amazing, Exhaustive Work
Comment: Moo's commentary on Romans is simply the best one-volume commentary available. He is extremely thorough and spends a considerable amount of space discussing all viewpoints before drawing his own conclusions. His analysis of opposing viewpoints is fair and balanced - often discussing all the points in favor of the interpretation before discussing its flaws.
Much of this work was originally written for a more technical commentary. For this book, Moo moved most of the technical discussion of the Greek to the footnotes. This makes the main body of text much more accessible to readers without a knowledge of Greek, but still provides the technical analysis for those who want it. He basis his discussions on the Greek text but uses the English words in the main text.

Summary: Make room on your bookshelf for this one!
Comment: Bottom line: One may not agree with Moo's exegesis, but one cannot afford to ignore Moo's exegesis.
Rating: 5
Summary: A superior work
Comment: In every way, Moo's commentary on Romans is the best one can find today. Conservative without being anti-intellectual. Exhaustive without being pedantic. It took over a decade for this commentary to see the light of day, and we should all be thankful it did.
Moo's arguments in Romans 6-8 are cogent, thorough, and brilliant. His understanding of "flesh" in Pauline theology ought to be sent straight to the translation committee of EVERY NT translation board that has ever said (wrongly) "sarx" should be translated "sinful nature." (The NIV, anyone?)
Even on the rare occasion one ends up disagreeing with Moo's exegesis, you will understand how and why he said what he did. And, IMHO, that is the mark of a well-written commentary. He lets the text speak to him before he speaks to us. And I cannot give higher praise to a commentator than that.
