Great Commentary

This is a great commentary for anyone who's not a biblical scholar. It is easy to read and actually quite interesting. It's the only commentary I've read that I could actually sit down and read cover to cover. He doesn't use Greek every third word, so it's easy to follow even if you have no Greek knowledge. A great commentary for your average Joe who's just looking for some more information on the book of Romans. Happy studies.
