An Exposition of the Epistle of Paul to the Romans
by John Gill
This excellent commentary on the Book of Romans is published as a separate volume, complete and unabridged, from Dr. Gill’s larger work, An Exposition of the New Testament, published by Mathews & Leigh, 1810. Our edition has been completely retype set in a large, easy to read print, while retaining the wording of Dr. Gill’s original text.
John Gill (1697-1771) was by any measure a most exceptional and gifted man of God. His enduring influence justifies the claim that he is one of the greatest theologians to appear in the annals of Christian history. In his Exposition of Romans, readers will profit from Gill’s industry and patient labor in presenting a sound exegesis of the Word of God. Gill was an eminent Biblical and Rabbinical scholar, and there is no sterile detachment from the precious realities of the Divine life evident here. On the contrary, when Gill writes of Christ and His finished work on the cross and the benefits conveyed to the believer by virtue of being united to Him by grace, his depictions are quite moving and eloquent. Gill neither lived in an ivory tower nor shrank from a loving pastoral care for his hearers. The gospel minister, he wrote, “can not but wish that all that hear him might be converted and saved.” His Exposition of Romans was written during the course of his regular ministry at the Goat Yard Chapel, Horselydown, from 1720 until 1757, when both he and his devoted hearers moved to their new chapel at Carter Lane. Comprehensive, authoritative and judiciously written, this exposition on Romans will prove to be an invaluable aid in understanding “the way of God more perfectly.” (Acts 18:26).
