In  anticipation of his Illuminations commentary on Paul's letter to the  Romans, Stephen Westerholm offers this extensive survey of the reception  history of Romans. After two initial chapters discussing the letter's  textual history and its first readers in Rome (a discussion carried out  in dialogue with the Paul-within-Judaism stream of scholarship),  Westerholm provides a thorough overview of over thirty of the most  influential, noteworthy, and representative interpretations of Romans  from nearly two thousand years of history. Interpreters surveyed include  Origen, John Chrysostom, Augustine, Peter Abelard, Thomas Aquinas,  Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Locke, Cotton Mather, John Wesley, and  Karl Barth.   Bearing in mind that Paul did not write for scholars,  Westerholm includes in his study interpreters like Philipp Jakob Spener  and Richard Baxter who addressed more popular audiences, as well as an  appendix on a remarkable series of 372 sermons on Romans by beloved  British preacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones. A further aim of the book is to  illustrate the impact of this New Testament letter on Christian thought,  supporting Westerholm's claim that \"the history of the interpretation  of Romans is, in important areas and to a remarkable extent, the history  of Christian theology.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EERDMANS ACADEMIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52039239074066,"sku":"9780802882219","price":80.44,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9780802882219.jpg?v=1774736077","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9780802882219","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
