But the rest of the letter is so notoriously dense that these vital details are often missed, and the earlier chapters are read is if they were merely written for theology lecturers to expound rather than for the local church to ingest. In Reading Romans Backwards, renowned New Testament scholar Scot McKnight demonstrates that fresh light can be thrown on Chapters 1-11 by first taking a deep look at Chapters 12-16. Reading the letter in this new way, McKnight explores how Romans offers a message of deep reconciliation and living in fellowship as siblings - a message of vital relevance to today's church.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Scot McKnight</note> <subject> <topic>Bible -- Romans -- Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Romans -- Commentaries</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">227.106</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M479-S42</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9781481308779</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14995/6197opj3ttl-sy466.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14995/6197opj3ttl-sy466.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071428.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
