Hope for the Nations: Paul’s Letters to the Romans

I commend this well researched and well written book. Congratulations to Dr Tom Holland and the publisher for this valuable and timely contribution on Romans. --Michael A. Milton, PhD, Presbyterian minister, Chncellor and CEO and the James M. Baird Jr. Chair of Pastoral Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary Tom's commentary invites readers to break away from fixed ideas and journey to new places. It is informed, scholarly, rich in exegetical insights, yet easy to understand. Utilizing historical and contextual hermeneutics Tom argues for a reading of Romans that is tied to the Old Testament Scriptures, rooted in Isaiah, is Christ centered and communally focused. I highly recommend it for pilgrims seeking to know God more. --Lawson Murray, President, Scripture Union Canada, 1885 Clement Road, Pickering, Ontario Tom Holland's study demonstrates how a deeper understanding of the Old Testament, and particularly of its prophesied new exodus, can illumine Paul's theology of the person and work of Christ in profound ways. Here one will find scholarship that is not only solid but faithful, thorough and yet accessible--in short, scholarship in service of the church. --L.
