Free Paul For Everyone: Romans, Part 2, Chapters 9-16 (The New Testament For Everyone) Ebooks Online
Writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright helps us see the great sweep of this letter. Romans has long been viewed as the book above all in which Paul puts forth the basic doctrines of the faith, and the picture of God's life for us. It is the classic setting-out of the Gospel.Tom Wright has undertaken a tremendous task: to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament and to include in them his own translation of the entire text. Each short passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of each book. The series is suitable for group study, personal use, or daily devotions.

Everyone in the family loves the "Paul for Everyone" books by N.T. Wright.They give the reader contextual information about what was going on at the time Paul wrote his letters.N.T. is excellent at using descriptive examples that give the reader the understanding of Pauline thinking.This information, pastors either are ignorant of themselves or don't feel is pertinent.Unfortunately then, the vast majority of Evangelical Christians are essentially disconnected from the context and lives of their spiritual predecessors.Thank you N.T. for filling in the much needed gap!!
Paul for Everyone by N.T. Wright is a wonderful book to help the layperson dive into the book of Romans and learn the great truths recorded within its pages. Part One takes a detailed look and the first eight chapters of Romans, and written in a manner that makes it easily understood without deminishing the meaning and exactness of Paul's letter to the Romans. I have purchased Romans Part One and Two for a class and am very satisfied with the material and how N.T. Wright explains things using the Bible and everyday situations to bring the passages to life.
I would concur with many that NT Wright is one of the greatest theological minds of the 21st century. His biblical positions are well substantiated and flow consistently from both the old and new testament contexts. Absolutely a five star review.
NT Wright has a gift for incorporating the history of the times in a story format which not only puts the scripture in context but which brings an interest to the average reader, who may have difficulty following a purely academic text.
N T Wright gives a new depth and clarity to scripture. He applies scripture to relevant modern illustrations without losing the true context of the material. I have found N T Wright's studies on Paul for Everyone to give me valuable information to use in teaching my small group (bible study) and writing a weekly devotion for Path Finding Ministries. As the title tells us, Paul for Everyone studies are for anyone, to be used in private study-devotions or for scholarly insight.
These study guides to New Testament books, written by N. T. Wright, are the best I have used in my daily bible studies. Bishop Wright has written many scholarly tomes, but he has written these commentaries for the ordinary layperson. He has a wonderful way of weaving in stories that make his commentaries easy to read, timely and relevant to the person who wants to get a more personal understanding from these New Testament books. I would recommend them without hesitation to the ordinary pew sitter.
Paul is incredibly dense, and N.T. Wright does his usual job of helping to explain him. I'm not sure why the book had to be split into two parts -- it wouldn't have been that big if kept together.
Seems like a pastor talking rather than the scholar. To get Wright’s full commentary see New Interpreters series. Also see other Wright books on Paul, especially Paul and the Faithfulness of God.
