Description
This volume of essays provides presentations and analyses of several Reformation theologians' interpretations of Romans as a whole or in part, some focusing on one particular interpreter, such as Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, Bullinger, and Bucer; others compare and contrast two or more of the major interpreters whether in relation to a particular section of the letter. The commonalities and divergence in the readings are analyzed in relation to and as a reflection of the various social, political and personal circumstances of the Reformers.
Reviews / Votes
The explorations contained in this collection provide a valuable resource for those interested in Reformation receptions of Romans, those wanting to think about Romans itself, and also those concerned with a broader dialogue between scripture, theology and tradition -- Expository TimesMore details
