Romans: Volume 1

By C.E.B. Cranfield

Book Overview

For over one hundred years, the International Critical Commentary series has held a special place among works on the Bible. It has sought to bring together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic and textual no less than archaeological, historical, literary and theological-with a level of comprehension and quality of scholarship unmatched by any other series.

No attempt has been made to secure a uniform theological or critical approach to the biblical text: contributors have been invited for their scholarly distinction, not for their adherence to any one school of thought. The first paperback editions to be published cover the heart of the New Testament, providing a wealth of information and research in accessible and attractive format.

Customer Reviews

One of the finest exegetical commentaries on a N.T. book!

This is a model commentary and one of the best exegetical commentaries ever written on a Greek text. For good exposition, this is an excellent help and resource. (Much better than the abridged version, obviously!) Get BOTH volumes. This should be in every pastor's and Bible student's library.

An Amazing Commentary on the Greek Text of Romans

This commentary on Romans by Cranfield is by far the best ever written on the Greek text of Romans. His approach is to deal with each problem of interpretation by listing and describing the various options, then analyzing each in turn until he gives the reasons for his own conclusions. While you may not agree with his argumentation, you know that he has done a full analysis and presented good reasons for his views. Get both volumes, and forget the "shorter" one-volume edition.
