This is by far my favorite, and go-to commentary on Romans. Achtemeier does and incredible job putting the text of Romans together and helping you see that Paul had a coherent train of thought all the way through the work. Most commentaries seem to break Romans apart as if one verse has nothing to do with the context around it. Achtemeier gets around all that to show the true scope and message of the book. And as a bonus, it's not a very big book, but it is absolutely packed with no filler. My only with is that Achtemeier would do a more intensive work to focus on some of the smaller details that had to be left our of this because of the size restrictions. This is one commentary I don't hesitate in the least to recommend to anyone what wants a serious study of Romans.
