Romans #1-2
Romans: Expositions of Bible Doctrines Chapters 1:1-5:11, Volume 1 of 2
Romans: Expositions of Bible Doctrines Chapters 5:12 - 16:27, Volume 2 of 2
Formerly published as a four-volume set, Barnhouse's classic commentary on Romans comes back to life in this handsome two-volume set. Using his own translation, Barnhouse provides a comprehensive exegetical treatment of Paul's letter to the Romans that is renowned for its depth of insight, yet highly accessible to all readers. Though a respected scholar, Barnhouse spent most of his career as a dedicated pastor and was praised widely for his unusual ability to make the biblical message clear and practical. In Romans, Barnhouse uses Paul's famous epistle as a jumping-off point for a detailed exposition of core biblical doctrines. He proceeds phrase-by-phrase through the text and along the way each passage is examined in its immediate context and then related to broader biblical teaching. This allows Barnhouse to faithfully adhere to the Reformation maxim that Scripture interprets Scripture, and that it is perspicuous (clear) in its teaching, infallible, and authoritative. Thus, his focus on Romans becomes an exposition on the doctrines of the entire Bible. Reader's new to Barnhouse will appreciate his distinctive and lucid writing, while those familiar will again be able to hear a faithful and classic presentation of the Bible's message.

WOW what a MASTERPIECE 🤩
I decided to get this book after hearing experts of Barnhouse’s sermons on Romans on the radio. Boy was I not disappointed. I knew that Romans was theologically heavy, but to have Dr. Donald take my hand and walk me through this book, expounding verse-by-verse the majesty of Romans 1:1 to Romans 5:11, using is masterful illustrations and pertinent examples, was such a joy. Oh the depths of the riches & wisdom & knowledge of God! Reading this helped me better understand and appreciate the details of being justified in God’s eyes — I have righteousness credited to my heavenly bank account by the atoning death of Jesus!
I read thins book almost daily since Jan 1, 2023 and (almost) finished it in 6 months (minus 6 days). Onto Part 2! Romans 5:12-16:27, here I come!
