Christianity; New Testaments; Christian social thought & activity

Romans is the most influential New Testament book in the history of Christian theology: it has shaped Christian theology, how the gospel is framed, and how the Christian life is understood. Preaching Romans for many pastors is the climactic text for a preaching career. There are perspectives (e.g., reformed, new, apocalyptic, participationist, among others) on Romans, but not all of them are known by most and too many of them not known at all. We want to help rectify this by giving voice to those who have been too often voiceless.

Reviews for Preaching Romans from Here

"""Romans is too often read and preached as abstract theology without sufficient reference to the contexts of its original and contemporary audiences. This volume alerts us to the variety--and the significance--of contextual interpretations of the letter. There is much to learn from these approaches, and this book as a whole reminds us that we all interpret and preach from particular places and spaces."" --Michael J. Gorman, professor of biblical studies and theology, St. Mary's Seminary & University ""The essays comprising Preaching Romans from Here provide a different sort of 'Romans Road' to guide Bible-readers. This volume takes seriously the reality of a Bible-reader's social location and demonstrates how biblical interpretation ought to involve a multiplicity of diverse voices. I've preached countless sermons over more than three decades of ministry and wish I had owned such a resource earlier in my career."" --Dennis R. Edwards, dean, North Park Theological Seminary"
