"In this final volume of An Intertextual Commentary on Romans , Channing Crisler completes his comprehensive examination of Paul's argument in Romans. Crisler demonstrates how our interpretation of Romans 12-16 is contingent on understanding the way in which Paul heard Israel's Scriptures and sought to apply them to the believing communities in Rome. Paul here searches the Scriptures to guide the Romans in a hopeful way of life shaped by the God of peace." --Jeffrey Aernie, Head of School, School of Ministry and Theology, Alphacrucis University College "It is a privilege to recommend this fourth and final volume on Romans. There are many commentaries on Paul's letter to the Romans, but hardly any like this. Crisler reads Romans consistently from its wider Old Testament background. This paves the way for new insights into the wider terrain in which Paul reasons, thinks, and writes. Crisler has given scholars and students alike a tool and resource not to be ignored.

" --Karl Olav Sandnes, Professor Emeritus, MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society, Oslo "The Old Testament is fundamental for understanding the New, and Crisler brilliantly illuminates in passage after passage how Paul's profound intimacy with the Scriptures informs his responses in his letter to the Romans. This commentary uncovers the complex interrelationship between the Old Testament and Paul's text, shedding welcomed new light on his thought. It will serve as an invaluable resource for students and proclaimers alike." --David E. Garland, Professor of Christian Scriptures Emeritus, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University.
