Introducing Romans

“Longenecker addresses here the major questions about this intriguing letter, setting out his own views cogently and clearly, with fairness and respect for those with whom he disagrees, and drawing upon decades of research and reflection. Reasonable, clear, well-informed, and instructive in every chapter, this extensive introduction to Romans deserves a place in any scholarly collection on Paul’s most-discussed letter.”
— Larry Hurtado

“A veteran interpreter of Paul here takes on issues — some perennial, some of more recent focus — important for understanding Paul’s weightiest letter. Students will find this to be an informed introduction to a host of crucial subjects; as a handy reference work, the book merits a place on the shelves of scholars as well. Warmly commended for both!”
— Stephen Westerholm

“This extended introduction to Romans is in effect the first installment of Dick Longenecker’s forthcoming major commentary on the epistle, and publishing it separately has enabled him to deal more comprehensively with the issues than in any existing commentary. . . . I warmly commend it and look forward eagerly to the publication of the commentary whose harbinger it is.”
