Description

Romans by Brendan Byrne offers a literary-rhetorical approach to understanding Paul's letter as an instrument of persuasion designed to transform readers through a celebratory presentation of the Gospel.

Byrne explores how Paul presents a vision of a God who always acts inclusively, reflecting on the fate of Jews and Gentiles. The author shows how the victory of grace displayed in the risen humanity of Jesus marks the beginning of the Creator's design for human communities and the world.

This commentary provides full access to Paul and his Gospel through the letter, allowing Christians today to hear his voice as intelligibly and powerfully as it has spoken to past generations. Byrne facilitates a rewarding introduction to Paul, touching upon virtually all main issues of Christian theology.
