They have also discovered the rich treasure of practical spiritual wisdom which this letter to the church at Rome offers every diligent seeker. To everyone who would thus 'search the scriptures,' this commentary gives dependable and illuminating guidance. The authors discuss the origin of the church at Rome, the authorship of the Epistle and the occasion, time, and place of its composition, and the character and work of Paul. Then, within a clear and workable outline, they present their explanation and interpretation of the text, with comments on the same page with each verse being discussed. The detailed table of contents and complete index enhance this volume's usefulness. Here indeed is a book to stimulate every reader's highest thought and deepest spiritual insight."
