A unique series designed to bring detailed scholarship of the Scriptures and contemporary application together in one volume, explaining not only what the Bible means, but also how it speaks to us today.

Romans, which is part of the NIV Application Commentary Series, helps readers learn how the message of Romans can have the same powerful impact today that it did when it was first written.

Pontius Pilate's question has found its echo in today's society: What is Truth? For many, it's a negotiable item. But God doesn't change, and his character and purposes aren't subject to social whims. Living the gospel in our contemporary culture demands that we understand and internalise the truth about God and his plan for the world.

Paul's letter to the Romans remains one of the most important expressions of Christian truth ever written. Its message forces us to evaluate who we are, who God is, and what our place in this world ought to be. Revealing the links between Paul's times and our own.

Douglas Moo comments on the text and then explores issues in Paul's culture and in ours that help us understand the ultimate meaning of each paragraph.

A final section suggests ways in which the eternal theology of Romans can be understood and lived out in our modern culture.
