The contributors include interpreters with different understandings of Romans so that readers see a range of interpretations of central Issues in the study of the text. Each essay includes a short review of different positions on a topic and an argument for the author’s position, set out in clear, nontechnical terms, making the volume an ideal classroom tool."--Publisher's description.
