Morris has a wide swath of good commentaries on various New Testament books. This one on Romans in the Pillar series is very helpful, mixing both good exegesis, historical context, and theology. My only critique is that occasionally on important passages where there were differing interpretations, Morris relied on traditional Reformed understandings rather than make his case from the text. But overall Morris is a great help to the Bible student or pastor-preacher. My 4th favorite commentary. Highly recommended.

Using this commentary for our sermon series through Romans.

Easy to read. Not so technical that you can’t grab application but scholarly enough for you to understand what various views on the passage are.

Highly recommend.

I enjoy reading Leon Morris; his commentary on John is one of the best I have come across. However, Romans is not his finest work. He fails to interact with the New Perspective on Paul as if it is just a fad.

Un commentaire très bien fait qui a cette qualité de ne pas seulement faire de l'exégèse mais de se souvenir que celui qui lit ce type d'ouvrage est généralement un croyant qui cherche à recevoir et vivre le message des Écritures.

Easy to understand yet scholarly commentary on Paul's great letter to the Roman church.

An absolutely outstanding reference on this wonderful complete theology of Paul. (Book of Romans).
