Black's New Testament Commentary series presents a reliable and enlightening exposition of the New Testament for the modern reader. Written by highly respected biblical scholars, each commentary offers a paragraph-by-paragraph exposition based on the author's own fresh translation of the biblical text.

"This is a commentary which is both scholarly and religious, both readable and erudite. . . . Barrett has a marvelous gift of helping the reader to see not only what Paul is saying, but what he is saying it about. . . . A commentary destined to be subject to the rigorous test of constant use."
--G. B. Caird, Expository Times
