I’m looking for a book that discusses the Book of Romans from a Catholic interpretation. Far too often all I can find are discussion books that are more calvinistic and quite honestly I hear that point of view far too often. Just wanting to learn more. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
 
You might want to try “The Letter of St. Paul to the Romans” - Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. It’s a booklet that contains the Bible text of Romans and extensive footnotes. There are also study questions in the back. Ignatius Press is the publisher.

Also, here is St. John Chrysostom’s commentary on the Epistle to the Romans. Can be a little more difficult reading the early church fathers because of their style of speaking.

Joseph Fitzmyer wrote an excellent scholarly commentary from a Catholic point of view.

You might also be interested in some of the writings from the “New Perspective”–many of these scholars are Protestants, but they are challenging the traditional Protestant reading of Paul.
