Summary

Every serious student of the Bible desires to understand the holy text, discover biblical principles, and apply the truths to his or her life. Romans: A Pentecostal Commentary, by Christian author Dr. Matthew N. O. Sadiku, is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand the book of Romans in a clear and simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), Dr. Sadiku provides helpful, verse-by-verse commentary for the book of Romans in a straightforward, simple style. Because the approach is uniquely Pentecostal, Dr. Sadiku adheres to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopts a literalist approach to the interpretation of this biblical text. Romans is considered by many to be one of the most important books in the Bible, as well as the most transformative; it was used as the battle cry of Martin Luther against legalism and superstition during the Reformation. Dr. Sadiku explores new theories on Paul's letters to the Romans and supports his interpretations with historical and cultural background information from the Scriptures and outside sources. Dr. Sadiku also shares some of the blessings and lessons learned from his study. More than a commentary, this engaging text will deepen your understanding of Romans and Christ himself.

Excerpts

Every serious student of the Bible desires to understand the text, discover the biblical principles, and apply the truths to his/her life. This commentary is designed to help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand the book of Romans in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse-by-verse. This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects. First, it is brief while some commentaries are unnecessarily wordy and verbose. Second, it is Pentecostal in outlook. This implies that we generally adhere to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopt a literalist approach to the interpretation of the Bible. The Bible was mainly written to transform lives. No book in history has transformed as many lives as the Bible. The Bible consists of sixty-six books. If there is any book, out of the sixty-six, which has transformed lives more than any other, it is certainly the book of Romans. It was the book of the Reformation era, the battle cry of Martin Luther against legalism and superstition. For this reason, many consider the book of Romans one of the most important books in the Bible.
