"It seems that there is always more to say about Romans because
Romans always has more to say to us. Stanley Porter has assembled a
fine collection of scholars for the task, and here we find helpful
essays on historical background, how linguistics shapes our
understanding of the letter, the use of the Old Testament, along
with essays that survey the letter. We are treated here to
stimulating exegesis and application to everyday life and are
reminded afresh that Romans speaks to both the mind and heart."
--Tom Schreiner, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"The McMaster New Testament series is known for producing
anthologies of studies of the statis quaestionis on important
topics. In recent years, the format has morphed into creative and
cutting-edge scholarship. This collection of essays on Romans
combines each of these two categories. Learn here about major
themes in Romans, but also about linguistics and intertextuality,
from top scholars who also care about the church and the
world."
--Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary
"This collection of essays breaks new ground historically,
exegetically, and linguistically. Pitched at an appropriate level,
this volume will serve the academic, pastor, and any serious
student who wants to explore fresh avenues for interpreting
Romans."
--David Mathewson, Denver Seminary
"The Letter to the Romans is an outstanding example of how the
grammar, language, background, and train of thought should be
analyzed and laid out for readers. Porter's many years of
experience with ancient Greek texts and the book culture of late
antiquity shine through on every page. We have here a truly
significant contribution to the interpretation of Romans."
--Craig A. Evans, Houston Baptist University
