An Accessible Verse-by-Verse Commentary of Romans
Choosing a Bible commentary can be a daunting prospect. With complex terms and dense exposition, many are tailored to scholarly theologians rather than everyday believers. And for those selecting resources in order to lead a small-group Bible study, speak at a women’s gathering, or simply grow in their knowledge of God’s Word, it can be hard to know where to start.
With warmth and clarity, Jen Oshman makes in-depth Bible study accessible without diminishing the richness of God’s Word. Verse-by-verse, Oshman guides readers through the full ESV text of Romans to aid their personal study, group discussion, teaching, and outreach. In this well-loved epistle, Paul presents the gospel with deep theological insight and practical application across a wide array of topics, including salvation by faith, works-righteousness, Jesus throughout Scripture, God’s heart for all nations, and more. Each volume in the Conversational Commentary series includes an engaging introduction, historical and cultural background, key themes, and suggestions for deeper study.
- Comprehensive Study Companion: Formatted for personal study, small-group discussions, or as a research tool for Bible teaching and outreach
- Conversational Language: Written in a clear, engaging way that doesn’t sacrifice theological depth
- Study of Romans: This beloved epistle is a must-read for every modern Christian
- By Women, for Women: Written by Jen Oshman, author of Enough About Me and Cultural Counterfeits

Courtney Doctor, Director of Women’s Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition; Bible teacher; author, From Garden to Glory; coauthor, Behold and Believe

I appreciate each author’s careful consideration of the original writer, document, and audience while keeping the language and format refreshingly accessible. These handy reference tools will be great additions to any theological library to return to repeatedly.”

“For those looking for an accessible and theologically robust commentary series, start here. These commentaries are informed, responsible, and God glorifying.”
Benjamin L. Gladd, Executive Director, Carson Center for Theological Renewal; series editor, Essential Studies in Biblical Theology
“These commentaries are indeed ‘conversational,’ but they are not without great theological depth and exegetical rigor. I’m so grateful for these dear sisters in Christ—for their biblical wisdom, love for God’s word and God’s people, and desire to help fellow women of God dig into the glorious riches of Scripture. Many thanks to Lydia Brownback and Megan Hill for their editing of these immensely valuable resources!”
Jon Nielson, Senior Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church, Wheaton, Illinois
“Of the two ways to get into the ocean, wading in from a beach is preferable to being dropped in from a helicopter. If you’re not sure where to start in your study of the Bible, Conversational Commentaries will help guide you into the deep truths of God’s word step-by-step. Why stay on the shore?”
Gloria Furman, author, Labor with Hope and Missional Motherhood
“This is the commentary series I wish I’d had when I started teaching the Bible. Trusted authors offer sound and accessible content for those wanting to deepen their study or strengthen their teaching. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or you’ve studied it for years, you want this series in your library.”
Colleen D. Searcy, speaker; Bible teacher; author, Meet Me in the Bible study series
“Within the crowded field of biblical commentaries, the Conversational Commentaries series offers something truly unique: commentaries written by women for female readers. These volumes live up to their name. They are conversational in their tone and approach, inviting readers into the world of the biblical text and helping them see how it relates to their own world. They are also commentaries, focusing on explaining the meaning, structure, and background of the biblical text. These volumes are a valuable resource for all women who long to go deeper in their relationship with God by going deeper into his word.”
Matthew S. Harmon, Professor of New Testament Studies, Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary
“Faithful, relatable, practical—Conversational Commentaries are the first books to pull off the shelf when you need to understand or teach the Bible, passage by passage. Equally valuable for personal study or public witness, the simple yet profound titles in this new series empower godly women to know, apply, and teach the Bible in life-changing ways.”
Philip Graham Ryken, President, Wheaton College
“These Conversational Commentaries absolutely deliver what they promise. They read like a wise friend sitting across the table explaining the text verse by verse, answering the questions that most naturally arise. While they offer sound scholarship, they eschew an overly academic tone. And while they ably cover the entire text, they are helpfully concise. I will pull these volumes off my shelf again and again.”
Nancy Guthrie, author; Bible teacher
