 A Helpful and Practical Resource on Romans December 2, 2008
Douglas Moo has definitely risen as a top scholar on Romans. I've read to one extent or another three of his commentaries on Romans. He has a longer more indepth scholarly commentary on Romans (New International Commentary on the New Testament) and a shorter commentary included in the IVP one-volume Bible commentary. This NIV Application Commentary serves its own purpose as it is designed to comment on the text itself, unpack the original context of the verses, and provide an explanation of its application to a contemporary reader or audience. I read the entire text as required for a seminary class on Romans. With a few exceptions, every page of this commentary is interesting, helpful and devotional.
Moo provides the critical exegesis material on Romans in this volume. He analyzes the Greek words when helpful, he offers differing views of other commentators and shares his own opinions when there are opposing views. He often compares his analysis with other commentaries and offers a full study of the Scripture. Moo is also not shy about sharing personal stories or offering examples from everyday life to help illustrate his points.
The organization of the commentary is helpful to Bible Study or application. Although scholars may prefer Moo's longer commentary, I think pastors, lay ministers and interested readers will be fully satisfied with Moo's treatment of Romans in this book. I would recommend it for any level of reader.
Easy to read commentary October 27, 2008
I purchased this commentary prior to giving a Sunday School class on the book of Romans. Douglas Moo provided a lot of insight to add to the other books I've read on Romans. The concept of providing perspective from the culture to which the letter was written and bridging it to our culture and discussing modern day application is very helpful.

This is a must have for anyone who is studying Romans or anybody just interested in Paul's journey. I highly recommend this book to everyone!
A Fine Mid-level Commentary on Romans September 10, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
To me, this is a very fine commentary for personal Bible study. The sections on analysis of the text are brief compared to Moo's major commentary, of course, but are pithy, to the point, and display the interpretive accuracy that Dr. Moo is deservedly known for. He is particularly strong in explaining the flow of the letter. The bridging and application sections are useful in general. They often encouraged me in my own study of Romans to reflect on important issues that I would not have come up with on my own. In my own study, using Moo's major commentary for exegesis in tandem with this one for the applications, was for me the best of both worlds.
 Great for the Basics February 23, 2006

NIVAC is a great series for those looking for a commentary with a very pastoral approach or one that doesn't get too technical. Anyone doing any serious academic study need look elsewhere, however. For example, Moo's own NIC on Romans is almost 3 times as thick as that of his NIVAC. Then again, if you don't want to mess with Greek, this may be exactly what you're looking for.
On Moo in general, his commentary is good, but you might want to check out Schreiner's instead.
