Romans: The Reign of Grace (Romans 5:1-8:39)

Romans Expositional Commentaries #2

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 second volume in the Romans collection discusses the full meaning of salvation, the problem of suffering, the ongoing struggles with sin, and the sustaining love God pours out on his people.

Reviews

[Michael Beck]

Boice at his best, and on Romans 5-8! Reading this was time well spent.

[Barry]

Boice does an outstanding job of exploring and explicating the astonishing depths of what is certainly the greatest letter ever written. Highly recommended!

[Eileen]

This book was great for our small group. Good for lots of discussion.

[Paul Moore]

This is Vol 2 of James Montgomery Boice 4 volumes on Romans. The chapters are edited for book form of Boice sermon series on Romans. As such this is a readable, well explained and applied with good use of anecdotes of Romans chapters 5-8.

In saying that, because of its size (so far vol 1+2= 1005 pages and only to chapter 8) it can take a bit of perseverance to keep reading.

But I have found it well worth doing so, as there are not many in-depth and detailed "commentary" ( to my knowledge anyway) that is true to the text but written in a down to earth way and therefore very good for devotional reading.

Again. A beautiful commentary on Roman’s.
