Purchase options and add-ons

In 1977 a collection of essays appeared that quickly became a standard for studying the purpose and occasion of Romans. Now The Romans Debate: Revised and Expanded Edition is available in a newly designed and enlarged format. Besides the original essays, the new edition includes thirteen of the most cogent, recent articles on this subject; a comprehensive bibliography; and an index.

This is not a volume for the "already decided." Spanning the spectrum of interpretation, these essays attempt to challenge opposing views, complement points of consensus, and above all contribute to our understanding of Paul's controversial letter to the Romans. In its own unique way, each of these articles compels the reader to return to the text and to listen anew to the message of Romans both for Paul's day and for ours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything Romans and Then Some
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2012

RE Paul's Letter to the Romans- Donfried swept up every Journal article ever printed about Romans - twenty years later, he did it again - adding the new crop to the old, which is why you need to buy this book. The book you get at the Library won't be this one, revised and expanded - it'll be the old standard, which is good, but this is way better. By the way, the scholarship is sound, but I never figured out what exactly the debate was about - a collection of rugged individuals and their views on Romans, from every scholarly journal under the sun.. Doing a paper? This is your book!

Outstanding collection of essays by serious theologians covering many of the issues/controversies found in the book of Romans. From the purpose of the letter to the intended audience to the debate over the "weak" and the "strong" in Romans 14:1 - 15:6. Thoughtful discussions and insights and if you are a serious student of the Bible, you will find it difficult to put this book down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Significant Text Analysing Several Historic Viewpoints on Romans
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2010
There are significant contributions made by the following authors: F.F. Bruce, James Dunn, Francis Watson, Peter Stuhlmacher, Gunter Klein, Gunther Bornkamm as well as others. The standouts for me personally were the articles by Dunn and Watson. I have to admit that I like the position Dunn has taken within the New Perspective. I think some of the adherents that have piggy backed him in using his coined term 'the New Perspective' have gone too far but Dunn remains quite level headed and has applied exegesis to manifest his hermeneutical position rather than the other way around (which of course is unlike many others within the NP). If you are interested in a more complete position from Dunn I would suggest purchasing his  The Theology of Paul the Apostle  or  The New Perspective on Paul . Both are excellent and should be read completely before criticising him.

Francis Watson's  Paul, Judaism, and the Gentiles: Beyond the New Perspective  was woeful in my opinion; yet here his article is fantastic. He gives a persuasive argument for the Jews as the 'weaker' brethren and the Gentiles as the 'stronger'. Perhaps even one of the most persuasive arguments ever written on the topic of the 'weak' and the 'strong' in Romans 14 & 15.
