Achtemeier on Romans
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
It's good in that it gets straight to the point and refers readers to more in depth works if that is what they need. I personally prepare sermons using both types of commentaries. I like this one because the idea encapsulated in a few pages. Once I have a good round idea of the passage I move onto the deeper works like Schriener, Moo, Fitzmyer, Kaseman, Cranfield, Sanday and Headlam, and the like.
Simply one of the best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Achtemeier's commentary on Romans is simply the best commentary on the market for the layperson. Commentaries written by academics are often not useful to the general public, since they use Greek or Hebrew and assume a great deal about the reader's background. On the other hand, most of the popular commentaries are simply too shallow. Achtemeier does an excellent job of clarifying the issues for the average reader. If you can only buy one commmentary on Romans, this should be your choice.
A very readable commentary.

I really enjoyed this commentary. This was my first experience with the Interpreation commentaries and I was impressed. Dr. Achtemeier did an excellent job of writing for the lay person as well as the full-time minister. It was very readable, which is, unfortunately, kind of rare in Bible commentaries.
