He refers to God as "She" in Romans:). Probably the most elegant work on Romans is that of Barrett. <BR/>Blessings,<BR/>LouAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-89011325896855187982007-12-22T01:14:00.000-05:002007-12-22T01:14:00.000-05:00There's a lot of good material on Romans, of cours...There's a lot of good material on Romans, of course. The following have all worked well with students, and those that could be used in a church context I have asterisked:<BR/><BR/>Luke Johnson, Reading Romans.

T. Reading Romans: A Literary and Theological Commentary. Macon, GA.: Smyth & Helwys, 2001. ISBN: 157312276<BR/><BR/>I find it not only readable but a great introduction that can then launch students into other texts. <BR/><BR/>JohnByronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12853335292109719929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-18994023530106731712007-12-21T07:37:00.000-05:002007-12-21T07:37:00.000-05:00Matthew,I have used NT Wright's Romans commentary ...Matthew,<BR/>I have used NT Wright's Romans commentary (as Simon mentions) in the NIB series. Also a small book, Klaus Haacker's Theology of Paul's Letter to the Romans in Dunn's NT Theology series (Cambridge). I also usually emphasize the Claudian edict approach to help understand the occasionality of the letter. .. And you can't beat Dunn's WBC either!JM O'Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13171066290239450750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-91468906763411241992007-12-21T06:25:00.000-05:002007-12-21T06:25:00.000-05:00I too would highly recommend Crieb's The Story of ...I too would highly recommend Crieb's The Story of Romans. I also think reta Haltemann Finger Paul and the Roman House Churches is very helpful for getting church people to think through the social situation in Rome and how that affected their expression of Christian faith. Tom Wright is, of course, excellent - both in the NIB and his Paul for Everyone series. I also think Philip Esler's Conflict and Identity in Romans is fascinating but not entirely convincing.simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13470335172330595542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378025299582121922.post-92105835870947903042007-12-21T05:04:00.000-05:002007-12-21T05:04:00.000-05:00Check out Katherine Grieb's the "Story of Romans"....Check out Katherine Grieb's the "Story of Romans".<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Bryan LBryan Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04144487212639973542noreply@blogger.com
