Book Description
Emphasizing theological rather than historical questions, Kasemann divides Romans into sections according to what he sees as the key theological concept of the letter--the righteousness of God. Detailed bibliographies are provided for each section of the text.

Book Description
Deeply conversant in the full range of questions and interpretations of the letter, Jewett's commentary explores the crucial and controverted passages that have always animated studies of Romans. Jewett also incorporates the exciting new insights from archaeology of the city of Rome, social history of early Christianity, social-scientific work on early Christianity, and the interpretation and reception of Paul's letter through the ages. Breaking free from abstract approaches that defend traditional theologies, Jewett shows that the entire letter aims to elicit support for Paul's forthcoming mission to the "barbarians" in Spain. His work specifically focuses on Paul's missionary plans and how they figure in the letter, on Paul's critical and constructive tack with the Roman community, and finally and especially on how Paul's letter reframes the entire system of honor and shame as it informed life in the Roman Empire at the time. The latter remains a pertinent message today. The first commentary to interpret Romans within the imperial context as well as in the light of the situation in Spain, this landmark commentary, twenty-five years in the making, will set the standard for interpretation of Romans for the next generation.

Book Description
Of all of Paul's letters, Romans is the one most immersed in the Old Testament. David G. Peterson situates Romans within the grand redemptive story of the Bible: creation, sin, Abraham's call and covenant, Israel's reception of and failure to keep the law, and God's great promises of salvation. Peterson reads Romans as Paul's exposition and defense of the gospel with unique theological insights into the Trinity, righteousness and justification, Israel and the church, apostolic ministry, and true worship and holy living. The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon--all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.
