Romans

Bridging the gap from text to interpretationRead the Greek and English of Romans in parallelGrasp the nuances of the Greek text, its translation, and its interpretationEncounter a fresh paraphrase of Romans and understand the choices behind itIn this Lexham Interpreter's Translation volume on Romans, Michael F. Bird gives readers the pieces to move easily between the letter's Greek text and its interpretation. For each passage, Bird provides a Greek-English interlinear alongside his own interpretive paraphrase, with notes on historical background, Greek insights, and translation choices. Each volume in this series includes three versions of the text: the SBL Greek, a literal English translation, and a lively paraphrase that captures Paul's meaning and rhetoric in modern English. The Lexham Interpreter's Translation is an intuitive and comprehensive resource for all students of the Bible--regardless of their level of familiarity with biblical Greek."The good news is the power of God for the rescue of everyone who believes, first for the Jews and second for the Greeks. For in the good news, God's plan to put the world to right is decisively revealed." --Romans 1:16-17-- (5/24/2024 12:00:00 AM)

"Helps readers approach familiar texts with fresh eyes." --Sandra Glahn, Dallas Theological Seminary "Bible readers with knowledge of Greek will be sharpened, and those without will benefit from Bird's career-long exegetical knowledge and wisdom." --Nijay K. Gupta, Northern Seminary
