Not much else to say on this that I did not say on the first part of Wright's commentary on Romans. Good stuff.

This is the second time that I have questioned the wisdom of Mr. Wright, the editor, or the publisher's decision to split one of these commentaries into two books and the second time I've had to backtrack and say that this may have been a good idea. Rightfully, a lot of Bible scholars look at Romans 1-8 as the Apostle Paul's best writing in the New Testament if not in all of Christendom, but then give short shrift to the second half of Romans by never connecting it to what was said in the first half. Mr. Wright in this small commentary makes a compelling case for considering chapters 9-16 to be part of a cohesive whole whose themes were in the subtext of the first half, but have been conveniently ignored by scholars in the past. It is eye-opening to read and, as usual, Mr. Wright makes a compelling case. I highly recommend this volume to anyone who has read the book of Romans and been confused by its second half when compared to its first half.
