Book Description
The Epistle to the Romans is both a highly personal letter and an authoritative theological treatise, inspired by the Holy Spirit and penned by the Apostle Paul. It contains clear and simple truths which serve to comfort the most childlike believer, as well as intricate examinations of the purposes and mission of God.
Paul himself, having been changed from the persecutor Saul into an ambassador for Christ, is evidence of the saving and transforming power of God that he expounds in his letter. He anticipates the questions of Christians examining their faith throughout the ages, and rebuts errors and heresies with which we still grapple today.
Sinclair Ferguson meditates on the grace and tenderness of God which Paul so plainly and boldly proclaims, and painstakingly unravels the most complex passages. His is a reliable and experienced voice guiding ordinary Christians to the very heights of New Testament theology.
Let’s Study Romans is suitable for individual or group use, and includes a Study Guide to aid readers in grasping and retaining the logical progression of Paul’s thought.

Lia Ross –
As someone who owns several books in this series, I was excited to finally have one on my favorite book of the Bible, Romans. Let’s Study Romans by Sinclair Ferguson did not disappoint. It’s thoughtful and accessible, striking the perfect balance between rich explanation and practical application without being overly scholarly.
This resource is great for personal devotionals, and I believe it would also serve well in a church Bible study group. What I love most is how it makes the truths of Romans relevant to our everyday lives, showing how we can live out these teachings today. This is an excellent companion for anyone looking to dive deeper into Romans without getting bogged down by complex theological language.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clear and practical guide to studying Romans, whether you are new to the book or have revisited it many times.
Marc Daniel Rivera (KristiyaKnow) –
Let’s Study Romans is the newest addition to Banner of Truth’s Let’s Study series. In this volume, Sinclair B. Ferguson furthers the series’ goal of providing faithful, accessible biblical exposition for laypeople, small groups, and families. He writes as a pastor beside you with an open Bible—guiding you gently and clearly through Paul’s letter to the Romans.
In this commentary, Ferguson walks through Romans chapter by chapter, verse by verse, helping readers follow Paul’s argument without getting lost in technical detail. His approach is deliberate and devotional, with a digestible pace that helps readers thoughtfully engage with each passage.
Throughout the commentary, Ferguson exhibits a deep awareness of the apostle Paul’s pastoral burden and theological brilliance. He skillfully leads readers from the dark diagnosis of sin and judgment (Romans 1–3), to the bright light of justification by faith (chapters 4–5), through the ongoing battle with sin and the life-giving work of the Spirit (chapters 6–8), and finally to the majestic sweep of God’s sovereign purposes in chapters 9–11. Along the way, Ferguson helps Christians see not only the logic of the gospel, but also its beauty and implications for everyday life.
One of the things that I like in this volume is its careful handling of difficult texts. For example, in Romans 7 and 9—chapters often debated and sometimes avoided—Ferguson provides thoughtful and pastoral explanations. Rather than becoming bogged down in speculative debates, he steers readers back to the core message of the text: the trustworthiness of God and the sufficiency of His grace in Christ.
The book also shines in its final chapters, where Paul turns from theology to ethics. Ferguson shows how the doctrinal foundation laid in the first eleven chapters leads to transformed lives: lives of sacrificial worship (Romans 12:1–2), humble service (12:3–8), love and submission (13:1–14), and unity in the church (14–15). The section on “Living Sacrifices” is particularly poignant, showing how theology fuels doxology and daily obedience.
The inclusion of a Study Guide at the end of the volume (pp. 401–425) makes this commentary especially suitable for group settings—Sunday school classes, small group studies, or family devotions. The questions are designed not merely to test comprehension but to provoke reflection and spiritual growth. Ferguson understands that genuine understanding leads to transformation, and his questions encourage both.
While Let’s Study Romans is not a technical commentary, it is far from shallow. Behind Ferguson’s prose is a lifetime of engagement with biblical scholarship and pastoral ministry. This is evident not only in the careful exposition but also in the book’s tone—devotional, reverent, and worshipful. Ferguson helps readers see Romans not just as a theological treatise, but as a living Word from the living God, addressed to believers in every age.
Final thoughts
This is my first time reading a volume from the Let’s Study series, and I deeply appreciated its clarity and approachability. Substantive without being overwhelming, Let’s Study Romans proves to be a great companion in understanding the depths of this deeply doctrinal book of the Bible. Sinclair Ferguson has once again gifted the church with a resource that is devotional, doctrinally sound, and profoundly edifying.
