Commentary on Romans for Cambodia and Asia (ASEAN Bible Commentary Series Book 1)
Description
Endorsed by DA Carson, Douglas Moo, and Thomas Schreiner, this entry-level Commentary on Romans for Cambodia and Asia will help equip the exploding Southeast Asian church to preach the gospel of Christ and the Apostles with power and faithfulness. Written by a pastor for pastors, the book is filled with sermon outlines, illustrations, and charts that will help teachers help their congregations understand God’s message of grace in Romans. The author has lived in the Asia and Pacific region all his life, including 20 years in Cambodia. From the front cover—where the most famous of Asian religious proverbs is turned on its head (“Do Good to Receive Goodâ€)—to the final page, the ASEAN commentary on Romans will speak powerfully to the Asian heart and mind.

"There is a long and honorable history of synopsizing and condensing longer, technical commentaries. JD Crowley has not only brought his considerable skills to this tradition, but has done so in two languages simultaneously, to the enormous benefit of the church in Cambodia and, it is hoped, other East Asian countries. Those called to teach the Bible who make use of Crowley’s careful work will long thank God for this gift."

"The commentary on Romans by JD Crowley brings together the two virtues that a good commentary should have: clear and accurate interpretation and relevant, hard-hitting application. Paul’s magisterial presentation of the good news of Jesus Christ is put into words and images designed to communicate with his particular target audience. Highly recommended!"

"Up until now we did not have a resource of this scholarly level in the Khmer language to help us in our study of Romans. Congratulations and gratitude to JD Crowley for his labor in producing this commentary on Romans just when the Cambodia church needs it. I hope that this book will provide help to church leaders, Bible school students, and to all believers in Jesus everywhere who have a desire to study Romans at a deeper level. May this book be the foundation for the Khmer Christians’ study of Romans—for this generation and for generations to come."
