- Synopsis
- Throughout the history of the church, the Book of Romans has received considerable attention. In the last thirty years especially, scholars have raised questions regarding just how Paul in general and Romans in particular should be read. In [this volume, the author] guides students through the ancient letter against the backdrop of these contemporary debates ... He encourages students to decide which approach best fits with the actual teaching of the letter, and as a help in this process, often indicates how the two opposing views would interpret key texts. [He] address[es] other introductory matters that are necessary for understanding Romans - the first-century context, the situation in Paul's, life as well as the situation in the lives of his readers. Other items discussed include the theme, purpose, and structure of Romans. After laying the groundwork for reading Romans, [he] leads readers through the argument of this significant book, highlighting key themes and clarifying difficult passages. Throughout, he also helps students to see the continuing relevance of Romans.
