Reviews

[Steve Watson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A remarkable tour through Romans, emphasizing Paul's good news of Jesus both to Jews and to Gentiles, united them together to God and eliminating all honor-shame distinctions. Also frames the entire letter as an exhortation to be united in support of Paul's upcoming mission to Spain, through its climax in 16:16, when all the house church members are encouraged to greet one another with a holy kiss.
