Summary: Review on Godet's Romans Commentary
Review: This is a wonderful commentary that takes a fundamental, honest look at the Bible. Godet was called a fundamentalist before the term was ever coined. He is a man who fought diligently for the supremecy of the Textus Receptus. If you are looking for a very basic Romans commentary, this is not for you. If you want something deeper that goes some into the greek, you will enjoy this book.

Summary: A must-have for serious Bible students
Review: This work is not for the lay person, and a basic understanding of Greek is beneficial to fully understand many of Godet's points. However, the more serious Bible student will find his exegesis brilliant and in most cases hard to argue, especially since his points are so closely intwined with the nuances of Greek grammar.

For a more introductory-level commentary, this is not the book to get, and I'd recommend someone like William Barclay, as his commentary is a bit more summarized and avoids getting too steeped in the Greek. But for a more serious study on Romans, this book should be on every scholar's shelf.
