Wow! Talk about verse by verse exegesis!! I have been studying Romans for over a year now, part of they study has been listening to John Piper’s 255 sWow! Talk about verse by verse exegesis!! I have been studying Romans for over a year now, part of they study has been listening to John Piper’s 255 sermons on Romans. I thought Piper went slow, but having read this volume by Lloyd-Jones, in which he spends 125 pages on Romans 8:16 and over 400 pages on the twelve verses of Romans 8:5-17 I feel Dr. Piper is actually going rather fast. Read this to savor what the Holy Spirit taught through Paul! Highest recommendation!...more
