Romans, Volume 2: The Reign of Grace

Romans Expositional Commentaries #2

by James Montgomery Boice

“Grace reigns,” says James Montgomery Boice, “not because God is gracious to us no matter what we do, but because grace has created in us a genuinely godly walk.”

Volume 2, The Reign of Grace, focuses on the sovereignty, grace, and holiness of God and on the need for holiness in believers. James Montgomery Boice discusses the full meaning of salvation, the problem with suffering, the struggles of sin, and the sustaining love God pours on his people. He also discusses:

• “God's Purpose in Human Suffering” (5:3–5)
• “Abounding Grace” (5:20)
• “Whatever Became of Sin?” (7:13)
• “The Greatest Chapter in the Bible” (8:1–39)
• “The Inheritance of God’s Saints” (8:17)
• “Five Unanswerable Questions” (8:31–36)

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

[Barry · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

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

[Paul Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
