To the Student
E ncountering the book of Romans in a systematic way for the first time is an exciting experience. It can also be overwhelming, because there is so much to learn. You need to learn not only the content of the letter that constitutes this book but also important background information about the world in which the writer of the letter lived.
The purpose of this textbook is to make that encounter a little less daunting. To accomplish this a number of learning aids have been incorporated into the text. We suggest you familiarize yourself with this textbook by reading the following introductory material, which explains what learning aids have been provided.
Sidebars
Sidebars isolate contemporary issues of concern and show how the book of Romans speaks to these pressing ethical and theological issues.
Chapter Outlines
At the beginning of each chapter is a brief outline of the chapter’s contents.
Study suggestion : Before reading the chapter, take a few minutes to read the outline. Think of it as a road map, and remember that it is easier to reach your destination if you know where you are going.
Chapter Objectives
A brief list of objectives is placed at the outset of each chapter. These present the tasks you should be able to perform after reading the chapter.
Study suggestions : Read the objectives carefully before beginning to read the text. As you read the text, keep these objectives in mind and take notes to help you remember what you have read. After reading the chapter, return to the objectives and see if you can perform the tasks.
Key Terms and Glossary
Key terms have been identified throughout the text by the use of boldface type. This will alert you to important words or phrases with which you may not be familiar. A definition of these words will be found at the end of the book in an alphabetical glossary.
Study suggestion : When you encounter a key term in the text, stop and read the definition before continuing through the chapter.
Study Questions
A few discussion questions have been provided at the end of each chapter, and these can be used to review for examinations.
Study suggestion : Write suitable answers to the study questions in preparation for tests.
Further Reading
A helpful bibliography for supplementary reading is presented at the end of the book.
Study suggestion : Use this list to explore areas of special interest.

Author’s Preface
O f making many books there is no end,” warns the author of Ecclesiastes (12:12). And, also, it would seem, of making of many books on Romans by Moo there is no end. Some readers of this book will know that I have already written two commentaries on Romans: the New International Commentary volume (published by Eerdmans) and the NIV Application Commentary (published by Zondervan). Why another book on Romans from Moo? I hope and believe that it is not just a matter of inordinate pride. To the degree that any of us can truly know our hearts, I honestly believe that I am writing not just to get my name on another book. I wrote this book because I think that my views on Romans are worth hearing. Or, more accurately, I think that the many Christian scholars and preachers who have gone before me, and whose views I build upon and adapt, are worth hearing. The contemporary scholarly world swirls with new ideas about Paul and Romans. Some of these ideas certainly are good ones. And God knows we always need to take a fresh look at old theological views, testing them against the best interpretation of Scripture we can develop. But not all the new ideas are, in my view, good ones. Some of them are bad ones, and some of them are at least questionable. So I see this book as an opportunity to revise and restate some old ideas against the backdrop of some of these new ideas. The nature of the Encountering Biblical Studies series gives me the opportunity to communicate these ideas in a different way than I had been able to do in my earlier commentaries and to a different audience.
Far too many people have helped shape my thinking on Romans to mention here. But the many opportunities I have had to teach Romans—in academic contexts at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and Wheaton Graduate School, in Sunday school classes, in extension classes, at pastors’ seminars, even in a Bible study for high school students—have been deeply influential in helping me think through the letter. This volume is dedicated to those many students whose questions, papers, and class comments have forged my own thinking on Romans.
