Romans, a volume of Zondervan's Story of God Bible Commentary series, is a fresh, engaging commentary that relentlessly sticks to its main point - that God is renewing his creation and is doing this through the person and work of Jesus.Michael Bird, an Australian theologian, wants his readers to live and to teach this theology presented here, a vigorous evangelical faith that wants to see the life of the Christian devoted to gospel obedience, freedom and teaching. His writing is warm and inviting, even when making quite serious points. While obviously a serious academic researcher in the New Testament and its world, and able to alude to serious academic discussions that have taken place about this text, he still teaches in a broad, non technical way that should not exclude those outside of the academic world.His introduction is a solid study in the motivations for why this portion of the Bible was given to the church - both the church in ancient Rome and its uses to the global Christian community. It is precisely this volume's emphasis on how Romans is applicable to so many different people throughout early 21st century global Christianity that gives this work such an empathetic tone. Bird writes with an awareness of the challenges that many pastors and teachers in Latin American, the Pacific Rim and sub Saharan Africa face.
