‘Dr. Chalmers styled this “a well-built commentary”, and strongly recommended it to students of theology. In his “Sabbath Readings” he writes: “I am reading Haldane’s Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans, and find it solid and congenial food.”‘ — C. H. Spurgeon

Robert Haldane’s Exposition of Romans, both in its contents and in the power of its influence, stands among the foremost of the many treatments of the epistle. As a commentary, Thomas Chalmers ‘strongly recommended’ it; Spurgeon put it in the front rank, and more recently, Martyn Lloyd-Jones owed ‘much profit and pleasure’ to it, characterizing its contents as unsurpassed in ‘warmth of spirit’ and ‘practical application’.
