A Rereading of Romans Justice, Jews, and Gentiles

Stowers, Stanley K.

A Rereading of Romans Justice, Jews, and Gentiles Stanley K. Stowers - U.S.A Yale University Press 1994 - 383tr. Paperback, Illustration 23 cm

Paul's Letter to the Romans is one of the most influential writings of Christian theology. From the time of Augustine it has been central in discussions about sin and salvation, about guilt, fear of God, and gratitude for God's mercy. In this groundbreaking reinterpretation, Stanley Stowers argues that Christian tradition has interpreted Romans in an anachronistic fashion fundamentally different from how readers in Paul's time would have read it. He provides a new reading that places Romans within the sociocultural, historical, and rhetorical contexts of Paul's world.
