Reviews

[Summer Cromartie]

I always expect more depth from these, but I also always enjoy them. More like little sermons than commentary.

[Kelsey]

This one ebbs and flows for me on what is helpful and what I don’t quite agree with. But, overall, a good analysis.

[Steve Croft]

Another great addition in the series. These books would work great as a devotional as you make your way through the NT. It includes Wrights own translation and brief commentary of each section. Very manageable to read daily alongside a bible reading plan.

I'm enjoying Wrights (not so?) unique theology starting to come through in the epistles, he is very good at explaining his points and all seem good to me so far.

Greatly expanded my understanding of Romans!

NT Wrights books greatly expanded my understanding of Romans. Highly recommend them to get a deeper sense of what was going on and how it applies to you today.

A great study of Paul's greatest letter.

A great study of Paul's greatest letter. N.T. Wright has a gift of expounding and teaching the scripures in a way all may understand.
