"Romans is the longest and most elaborate of Paul's letters. It is also one of the most difficult and controversial texts in the New Testament, and Christians of different denominations have disagreed over its meaning for the past 500 years. Paul's Rhetoric in Its Contexts gets behind and beyond the various theological debates that have overly colored the interpretation of Romans in recent, even ecumenically-minded, commentaries in a way that is new and perhaps truer to Paul's actual concerns and arguments."--BOOK JACKET.
