Paul's letter to the church in Rome has been a focus of Christian reflection throughout church history. Martin Luther said of this epistle, "It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well." Church historian Gwenfair Adams guides readers through a variety of early modern commentary on the first eight chapters of Paul's epistle to the Romans.

Philip and Peter Krey guide readers through Reformation-era commentary on the second half of Paul's letter to the Roman church. Among the issues the Reformers dealt with were the predestination of God's elect, the destiny of Israel, the role of Gentiles in salvation history, the ethical demands of the Christian life, and the Christian's relationship to the state.

Romans and 1 Corinthians are the first two Pauline letters in the New Testament. Vine's commentary on Romans is clear and easy to read, especially given the density of theological content in this great book. His commentary on 1 Corinthians matches the pastoral heart of Paul.

Some Shorter Letters of Paul contains commentaries on Galatians, Philippians, Colossians, and 1 and 2 Thessalonians.

Ephesians unfolds God’s glorious purpose for the church, which should break down color and class barriers. "Only Christ can bring together people on either side of these barricades by first bringing them to himself." This verse-by-verse commentary is intended for the general Christian reader, not for the scholar.

Christ is at the center of this study of the writings of the Apostle John. Vine presents Christ in the grandeur of His eternal Deity, His distinct personality in the Godhead, His essential oneness with the Father, and His power as Creator and as the Giver of life. Includes commentary on the Gospel of John and the 3 epistles of John.

Vine's commentary on these letters is particularly rich because of his own warm pastoral heart and his concern for missionaries. These letters are the oldest missionary correspondence of the Christian era, written by one of the earliest missionaries. Uses a word study approach that takes into consideration every use of a particular word.
