The Letter to the Romans by Frederick Dale Bruner

The Letter to the Romans by Frederick Dale Bruner

In the wake of his widely appreciated commentaries on the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of John, noted theologian and exegete Frederick Dale Bruner turns his attention to Paul's letter to the Romans. In this concise commentary, he relays his findings on what he calls the Fifth Gospel and its central claim that through the Father's love, Jesus's passion, and the Spirit's application of this passionate love, human beings can have a perfectly right relationship with God--by simple faith in His Christ.

As he did in his commentaries on Matthew and John, Bruner engages historical interpreters from the patristic period to the present--including Augustine, Chrysostom, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--while also offering his own lucid translation of the text and relevant pastoral applications. The result is a holistic understanding of the book of Romans informed not only by one scholar's lifetime of ministry, teaching, and learning, but also by the full depth and breadth of church tradition.

Bruner, Frederick Dale: - Frederick Dale Bruner is the George and Lyda Wasson Professor of Religion Emeritus at Whitworth University. His other books include A Theology of the Holy Spirit: The Pentecostal Experience and the New Testament Witness and commentaries on the Gospels of Matthew and John.
