Romans: An Expositional Commentary, Vol. 1 discusses the full impact of justification by faith alone. Boice uses stories and hymns to present the thoughts of Paul in a poetic form and provides word studies based on the Greek text to add meaning and enrichment to Paul’s words.

Romans chapter 9 has become a dividing point between competing theologies for years. Calvinistic authors ground much of their interpretation of the Bible and understanding of God's nature and character from this particular chapter. Christians that are unaware of the theological traps they can fall into by blindly following Calvin's theological determinism can result in a distorted view of God's nature and character. The consequence of this is surely problematic when applying a predetermined view of God to the rest of the Bible that the Scriptures simply will not support. This has at times ...

Volume two, The Reign of Grace, focuses on the sovereignty, grace, and holiness of God and on the need for holiness in believers. James Montgomery Boice discusses the full meaning of salvation, the problem with suffering, the struggles of sin, and the sustaining love God pours on his people.

Volume 4, The New Humanity, explores the life applications of theology Paul set out in the final four chapters of the book of Romans. Calling all Christians to renew their understanding of the great doctrines of Christianity, Boice shows how we can live by these teachings even today.

As we come to the book of Romans, we see that it is one of several epistles written by Paul, the apostle. He wrote approximately two thirds of the New Testament. This letter was written about ten years into Paul’s ministry and about ten years from his death. The foundation of the New Covenant church had mostly been laid by the other apostles; Paul was visiting and writing to various churches to make sure they were walking out what had been taught to them. It is common in Paul’s writings for the first part of a letter to be theological and the last part to be practical, applying the ...

What follows is not a translation in the ordinary sense of the word. It’s more like a paraphrase. Rather than worry over the letter of the text, the goal has been to illuminate the large scale patterns that structure it. The King James Version, for instance, renders Paul’s letter with uncanny beauty but is opaque as an argument. Modern translations tend to have the same problem. Their overriding concern is with the letter of the text, not with its logic. As a result, Paul’s forest is always getting sacrificed for the sake of his trees. But Paul’s work is too important, his good news...

This third edition of this commentary begins with Paul's final days of freedom before being arrested in Jerusalem.

He also went to take some financial aid to the church in Jerusalem. While there, he participated in a Nazarite ritual with four men who had taken a vow.

A verse by verse study of the amazing book of Romans. Designed for high school to lower-college readers.

We can go on a treasure hunt in the Bible, to not only know more about our Lord Jesus Christ, but also God’s plan and purpose for the body of Christ. We will find that when we understand the word of God rightly divided we can function properly, by His life working in and through us. “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Cor. 4:7). There is a supernatural interaction that takes place between the word of God and His Spirit in us when we believe it.

Jesus came preaching about the kingdom and his last words to us focused on unity. Within a few years of his departure, the kingdom was facing its first major crisis—the impending split between Jews and Christians. Two millennia later, we continue to divide among ourselves with no end in sight. And yet, we think we have a message to the world about how to get along. Jesus said the world would know him through the love and unity we have with each other. How can that be achieved? Paul gives us answers through his letter to the Romans, if we are able to read with open minds and open hearts.

Galen of Pergamum (A.D. 129-ca. 216) began his remarkable career tending to wounded gladiators in provincial Asia Minor.
