while it's a monster, Thomas Schreiner's commentary in the Baker Exegetical Commentary series.

I REALLY like the William Hendriksen New Testament Commentary by Baker.

Hendriksen is great and I look forward to Schreiner's work, but although it is more devotional in nature, I have greatly benefitted from reading Lloyd-Jones' work on Romans.

FF Bruce is accessible enough for your average Sunday School class. I don't know what kind of class you are talking about.

Cranfield will be 92 in September, by the way...

Faith and repentance are born together and aid the health of each other. - Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), on July 23, 1865

I use, amongst others, John Gill and Charles Hodge.

See N.T Wright's commentary in the Interpretation series. Very thought provoking and accessible.

Hi:

AV1611 already mentioned Hodge's commentary. Haldane's is very good as well.

It's actually really good on a few points, notably the translation of hilasmos/hilasterion as "propitation." It is also good on Christ as the Second Adam motifs. He tends to beat a dead horse after a while, though.

Been thru Moo twice, I think it is the best. A good modern comentator brings in the best of arguments from dozens of comentaries.

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

You have just reminded me of my old faves:
