Richard N. Longenecker (1930-2021) was a distinguished New Testament scholar who taught for many years at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto. He was the author of numerous books, including Paul, Apostle of Liberty; The Christology of Early Jewish Christianity; New Testament Social Ethics for Today; Introducing Romans: Critical Issues in Paul's Most Famous Letter, and the New International Greek Testament Commentary volume on Romans.
"Longenecker addresses here the major questions about this
intriguing letter, setting out his own views cogently and clearly,
with fairness and respect for those with whom he disagrees, and
drawing upon decades of research and reflection. Reasonable, clear,
well-informed, and instructive in every chapter, this extensive
introduction to Romans deserves a place in any scholarly collection
on Paul's most-discussed letter."
-- Larry Hurtado
University of Edinburgh "A veteran interpreter of Paul here takes
on issues -- some perennial, some of more recent focus -- important
for understanding Paul's weightiest letter. Students will find this
to be an informed introduction to a host of crucial subjects; as a
handy reference work, the book merits a place on the shelves of
scholars as well. Warmly commended for both!"
-- Stephen Westerholm
McMaster University "This extended introduction to Romans is in
effect the first installment of Dick Longenecker's forthcoming
major commentary on the epistle, and publishing it separately has
enabled him to deal more comprehensively with the issues than in
any existing commentary. . . . I warmly commend it and look forward
eagerly to the publication of the commentary whose harbinger it
is."
-- I. Howard Marshall
University of Aberdeen
