insights and ideas on almost every page.
Few of us need another commentary on
Romans in our library, but a stimulating

René
Lopez has introduced and validated some
viewpoints that have been overlooked by
recent commentary literature that will
challenge the reader to make some
theological decisions. This is a book
that every serious student of the Bible
needs to have in their library.

Finally!
In this important volume, we now have in
print a systematic work on the entire
text of the book of Romans that follows
Paul’s thought in his categories, as
opposed to imposing previous categories
from Systematic Theology upon Paul’s
thought! René Lopez, a first rate
scholar with a pastor’s heart has
written a commentary that is not only
accurate exegetically, it also maintains
an exquisite balance between analysis and
synthesis which allows the reader to
understand Romans at both a micro and a
macro level. While René interacts with
the major scholarly literature on Romans
throughout this volume, his commentary
flows nicely and is a joy to read. This
volume has instantly become the first
reference work I will go to whenever I
interact with the text of Romans. I
highly recommend it to others both
scholars and laymen.

Breaking
from the interpretive status quo that
views Romans as a treatise on
justification, René Lopez has introduced
us to Paul’s Epistle to the Christians
in Rome as a treatise on the sanctified
life, for believers both new and mature,
including the warning that those who are
exempted from God’s final wrath may
taste His present wrath if they fail to
live obediently by faith. He shows us
that a free-grace understanding of the
gospel does not lead to antinomianism as
some of its opponents accuse, but
includes a clear description of the
believer’s responsibility to obey, and
accountability before, our righteous God
who is both just and justifier of those
who come to Him by faith alone in Christ
alone.

One of the more misunderstood books in
the Bible is the Book of Romans. René
Lopez
does an excellent job of explaining the
power of the gospel for the Christian
life. If you are interested in growing as
a Christian, this book is
for
you.
