A masterful analysis of Paul’s greatest letter and its central themes.


Amongst all the commentaries on St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans Leenhardt’s has won a distinguished place. Marked by freshness, lucidity and a firm grasp of the inner essentials of the Epistle, the commentary is both scholarly and readable. J.G. Davies wrote of it: “This is the outstanding commentary in any language on Romans. Leenhardt has illuminated many obscure passages; some of his interpretations are entirely new and yet entirely convincing. No one could read this commentary without a deeper understanding of the apostle’s essential thought.”

"Leenhardt's study of Romans is a welcome change. . . he simply and convincingly challenges firmly established positions." Cora Klick, in The Journal of Religion, January 1966 "This is the outstanding commentary in any language on Romans. Leenhardt has illuminated many obscure passages; some of his interpretations are entirely new and yet entirely convincing. No one could read this commentary without a deeper understanding of the apostle's essential thought." J.G. Davies
