Schreiner's commentary is attuned to understanding Paul's flow of thought, which is very important to understand anything Paul says in any of his letters. No verse is an island, and each reflects an aspect of Paul's theology throughout the full letter. Schreiner has changed his view on a few key issues (Rom 1:16-17; 2:14-16; 5:12; 7:7-21)
But, besides these, Schreiner has changed his interpretations on much smaller points too (see my blog for a fuller discussion). Schreiner once understood "law" in Romans 7.21 and 23 to refer to the Mosaic law (376), but he now understands it to mean something akin to "principle" (375). Many of these nuances abound in his volume.
Schreiner's bibliography has been revamped and has been updated to 2016, with the exception of Timmins' work (2017), Peterson's Romans commentary (2017), and Thielman's forthcoming Romans commentary (2018). Even his footnotes have been updated, even if not completely changed.
The Spoiled Milk?
Due to his brevity (or my own ineptitude) I don't understand some of Schreiner's arguments: God's righteousness is to be understood only forensically; Romans 2.15 and how the gentiles here are two different groups (believing and non-). But those are minor issues. The text as a whole is very readable.
Recommended?
Scholars will want to pick this up for Schreiner's changed positions, his updated nuances, and the additional bibliographic entries. If you have Edition 1, sell the first and buy the second.
Schreiner's volume is perfect for examining the flow of thought along with other interpretive and exegetical matters. But for all that allotted space, other matters must be left for other commentators. I may not be given the details of a particular word, but I at least understand how it is used in Paul's flow of thought. Schreiner has published a plethora of works since his first edition, and as a result he has sharpened his thinking on numerous matters. This comes highly recommended.
I received this book from Baker Academic with no requirement of a positive review.
