Dale Leschert has written - "Paul's epistle to the Romans may possibly be the most influential letter ever written. Apart from its immediate impact upon the first century, it has indirectly altered the direction of the church and secular history through its instrumentality in the conversion of several of Christianity's most outstanding leaders."
Augustine, Luther and Wesley are amongst those who relate their trust in Christ to this book.
Romans is all about the revelation of God's righteousness in freely offering salvation to all people through faith. Written about AD 56 or 7 in Corinth whilst he was on his way to Jerusalem, Romans historically fits into the book of Acts near the end of Paul's third missionary journey.
This commentary is presented in a Readable, Reliable and Relevant way.
Paul Barnett has also written the Focus on the Bible Commentary on 1 Corinthians: Holiness and Hope of a rescued people (9781857925982).
Paul Barnett is retired Bishop of North Sydney, Visiting Fellow in History at Macquarie University, Senior Fellow in the Ancient History Documentary Research Centre, Macquarie University, Teaching Fellow at Regent College, Vancouver and Faculty Member Moore Theological College Sydney.

"Paul Barnett's commentary on Romans (Christian Focus; pb., 383 pp.) has been reprinted. It is a good readable, theological exposition which will be very helpful in sermon preparation. He also has a brief summary of the "New Perspective on Paul" which is helpful."
Ray Van Neste ~ Director, R. C. Ryan Center for Biblical Studies, Union University, Jackson, Tennessee
"Paul Barnett combines a thorough going exegesis which is sane and helpful, as well as lucid and well argued, with a pastor's heart and a good eye for application. This is a brilliant commentary on a key book, which I warmly and wholeheartedly recommend. Every preacher and lay reader should have it and read it!"
Wallace Benn ~ Bishop of Lewes, Sussex, England
"Distinguished New Testament historian and pastor, Bishop Paul Barnett, has given us a clearly written commentary on Romans which, while critically conversant with the present debate over the new perspective, is clear and accessible to preachers and Bible teachers. The deft hand of a scholar preacher is everywhere evident in the neat organisation, precision, lucid explanative and warmth of this most helpful work."
R. Kent Hughes ~ Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois
'Paul Barnett's refreshing commentary on Romans is marked by warmth, clarity, careful exegesis of the text, and a fine grasp of the historical circumstances surrounding this letter.'
Peter O'Brien ~ Emeritus Faculty Member, Moore Theological College, Sydney
‘The series has the three ‘R's "Readable, Reliable, Relevant" as its motto, and Barnett's commentary is fairly much all three. The commentary is easy to read, interacts in a popular but sound way with wider scholarship on Romans, and contains helpful pastoral applications throughout. The strength of the commentary lies in the fact that Barnett seeks to read Romans in its historical context. This comes as no surprise given that he is a trained historian. This historical orientation allows him to be open to the insights of provided by the New Perspective on Paul.'
The Reformed Theological Review 63:2 (August 2004)
