Romans: A devotional commentary for study and preaching

The apostle Paul had not visited the church in Rome when he wrote to them. In doing so, he introduces himself and sets out the gospel message, from the fallen state of humanity to the gift of salvation available through the death, resurrection and Spirit of Jesus Christ. He explores the consequences of salvation - how new believers should be characterised by freedom from sin and death and by submission to God, and what it means for their life together and for all God's Chosen People. The People's Bible Commentary (PBC) is designed for all those who want to study the scriptures in a way that will warm the heart as well as instruct the mind.
