Romans (Paideia Commentaries On The New Testament Series)

In this volume, respected New Testament scholar Frank Matera examines cultural context and theological meaning in Romans. This commentary, like each in the eighteen-volume Paideia series, approaches each text in its final, canonical form, proceeding by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Each sense unit is explored in three sections: (1) introductory matters, (2) tracing the train of thought, (3) key hermeneutical and theological questions. Graduate and seminary students, professors, and pastors will benefit from this readable commentary, as will theological libraries. ??About the Series??Paideia commentaries explore how New Testament texts form Christian readers by* ??attending to the ancient narrative and rhetorical strategies the text employs * ?showing how the text shapes theological convictions and moral habits * ?commenting on the final, canonical form of each New Testament book * ?focusing on the cultural, literary, and theological settings of the text * ?making judicious use of maps, photos, and sidebars in a reader-friendly format
