Exegesis must not be influenced by one's system of theology, but only by the Scripture, which interprets itself. When we come to a difficult passage in this book we cannot ignore the allusions to the Old Covenant. The description of people and land in this passage have been variously interpreted; I think the proper path is to understand these allusions and what they would mean to the original audience; then determine how they apply to us.
One beggar telling other beggars, here is the heavenly bread, even Jesus, Who is the Christ!

The Gospel in Romans
A few years ago I taught through the book of Romans. My notes from that teaching have been edited and put into a book which is a practical, shorter commentary on Romans.
Here's a comment from the preacher/author who wrote the Foreword:
"I've just completed writing a forward to a commentary on Romans. I can honestly say my soul was immensely edified. I read it twice. I don't always agree with everything I read, but this work will bless you, and I am honored to have had a first look. When it is published, it's Scriptural soundness will fill your heart with surprise and overwhelming delight. It will show you more of the goodness and grace of God, and His Word will become to your heart increasingly precious."
