The gospel as it really is was the first Welwyn Commentary to be printed in 1979, and has now been revised and updated. In this book the author aims to present a simple introduction to Romans for the ordinary reader. His exposition goes straight to the heart of the passage, avoiding technicalities or obscure textual criticism. Perhaps no other part of Scripture has had so profound an infl uence on the history of the Christian church as Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Luther said of Romans: 'It can never be read or considered too much or too well, and the more it is handled, the more delightful it becomes and the better it tastes.'
