Romans: God and History (Romans 9-11)

Romans Expositional Commentaries #3

by James Montgomery Boice

The Boice Commentary series combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section by section reading of various biblical texts. Combining thoughtful interpretation with contemporary insight for daily living, James Montgomery Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text's concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live. Whether used for devotions, preaching, or teaching, this authoritative and thought-provoking series will appeal to a wide range of readers, from serious Bible students to interested laypersons.

"Christianity has been the most powerful, transforming force in human history," says Boice. "And the book of Romans is the most basic, most comprehensive statement of true Christianity." This third volume in the Romans collection develops a Christian view of history.

Reviews

[Michael Beck · Rating 5 out of 5]

Boice's commentaries (and sermons) always provide a treasure trove of God-exalting material. Whether it's exegesis, systematic theology, quotes from preachers of the past, or just good application for today's listeners, Boice is the maestro of mixing these together in his sermons! Boice gets Romans 9-11 right, and does so by explaining the text.

Every pastor should have Boice in his collection, and these volumes are highly recommended for any Christian!

PTL, I finally finished this. The last few chapters on Chapter 11 put it together for me. Excellent! And now on to Romans 12. It is a good day!

Excellent treatment of the issues at stake in Romans 9-11.

[Denise Ryan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Highly Recommended! It is beautifully written and would appear to come from a series of sermons. Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text's concerns to the church. As Boice says, "the book of Romans is the most basic, most comprehensive statement of true Christianity."
