Grieb, A. Katherine

The Story of Romans A Narrative Defense of God's Righteousness Anne Katherine Grieb - Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A Westminster John Knox 2002 - 167tr. paperback, illustrations 23cm

A. Katherine Grieb insightfully traces the argument of Paul's letter to the Romans and shows how it is grounded in the story of God's faithfulness to Israel. She draws together a number of crucial insights: the narrative character of Paul's thought, the apocalyptic message of his gospel, the depth of his engagement with Israel's Scripture, and the practical and political impact of his theology. She demonstrates the letter's relevance today and invites contemporary readers to locate their own stories within Paul's account of God's righteousness. Informed by recent Pauline scholarship, this book will be useful to scholars, students, and pastors.
