Romans - An Interpretive Paraphrase with Notes
Romans is without doubt the greatest of all the epistles and is considered by some to be the greatest book in the New Testament. It’s influence upon Christianity is beyond measure. Deissmann wrote: “A holy fire glows between its lines…the deep understanding of human misery, the terrible shuddering of the power of sin, but at the same time the jubilant rejoicing of the redeemed child of God-this is what for all time assures to the Roman epistle a victorious sway over the hearts of men…”
The “interpretive paraphrase” (translation) and the introductory notes and commentary are the result of a study begun years ago. They have been revised and corrected as the years have passed and have been taught in dozens of Bible conferences across America.

John Bob Riddle, DDS
Dr. John Bob Riddle (1924 – 2012) was a beloved expositor, Bible scholar, pastor and teacher for over sixty years. Often called the Prince of Preachers by his admirers, Dr. Riddle was a friend and contemporary of such men as W. A. Criswell, R. G. Lee, Vance Havner and J. Vernon McGee, appearing often with these giants in Bible conferences and other speaking venues. As both a scholar and pastor Dr. Riddle’s dream was to translate the entire New Testament from the most reliable and authentic original Greek sources into conversational English without losing any of the impact of the original language. Prior to his death in 2012 he had completed 20 such “Study Guides,” several with his son, Dr. Bob Riddle, President of Pastorsworkshop. Several of the “Study Guides” offered through Pastorsworkshop have the original teaching notes in the margins. These have been preserved for the readers’ benefit.
Though a beloved pastor/teacher, Dr. Riddle’s passion was teaching the deep truths of Scripture to other pastors, many of whom lacked the opportunity for higher education or the ability to study Scripture in the original languages. That legacy is now continued through the distribution of his life’s work through the Pastorsworkshop and its global outreach.
