Product Description
Writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us see the great sweep of this letter. Romans has long been viewed as the book above all in which Paul spells out the basic doctrines of the faith, and the picture of God's life for us. These helpful guides provide Wright's own translation of the letter as well as explanations, suggestions, and thoughts for how the biblical text can be relevant to our lives today. Easy to read and great for all sorts of settings and all sorts of readers-- Bible groups, personal devotions, young or old, clergy or layperson...for everyone!

 TOM WRIGHT--FOR EVERYONE! October 6, 2007
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Bishop Tom Wright's Romans for Everyone is the finest, most challenging exposition of Romans available today. Regardless of where you are on the denominational spectrum--from Pentacostal to Roman Catholic-Tom Wright's Bible studies are amazing. His use of contemporary examples bring what for many Christians is "old stuff" to life again. You thought you knew Romans (or any of his other New Testament bible studies)? Well you will find yourself saying many times over: "I never knew that!!" You will not be disappointed

These study guides to New Testament books, written by N. T. Wright, are the best I have used in my daily bible studies. Bishop Wright has written many scholarly tomes, but he has written these commentaries for the ordinary layperson. He has a wonderful way of weaving in stories that make his commentaries easy to read, timely and relevant to the person who wants to get a more personal understanding from these New Testament books. I would recommend them without hesitation to the ordinary pew sitter.

As a student of Pauline Literature I have found this book very informative and stirring. I highly recommend for all who want an indepth view of Romans.

Wright's prose here is accessible, deceptively simple, and effective in delivering the age-old brand new story of Romans to a modern audience. The narrative of Pauline theology gets a fresh breath from under the clutter of excesses seen throughout Christian literature. Though not straying too far from the tree, Wright does shake things up. For those looking for a faithful, and yet disarming, take on Romans you need look no further.
