The Epistle to the Romans 1-8 (Vol. 1) (International Critical Commentary Series)

This is simply the best technical exegetical commentary on Romans out there. Even though it is not brand new, it is still the best. Cranfield's treatment of the Greek text is excellent and exhaustive. He presents supporting arguments for most of his grammatical decisions which many commentators neglect to do. The author however is a Barthian neo-orthodox theologian, and his theological conclusions must be read with skepticism, and his desire to draw neo-orthodox conclusions does impact his exegesis at times.

I have been preaching through Romans for about a year and this has become my favorite go-to commentary. I finished this first volume this week as I prepared my last sermon on Romans 8. I'm sure I didn't read every word, but this is the first commentary I go to week after week. It deals with the Greek text but is not overly long or limited only to discussions of syntax.Note: I have the older hardback edition

Great study
