Romans

In this fresh and readable addition to the Paideia series, well-respected New Testament scholar Frank Matera examines cultural context and theological meaning in Romans. 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
