Overview

Romans 5–8 revolves around God’s dramatic cosmic activity and its implications for humanity and all of creation. This collection of insightful essays from 10 different scholars, including the editor, measures the power of Paul’s rhetoric about the relationship of cosmic power to the Law, interpretations of righteousness and the self, and the link between grace and obedience. Apocalyptic Paul is a revealing study of Paul’s understanding of humanity in light of God’s apocalyptic action through Jesus Christ; it illuminates Romans 5–8 and shows how critical this neglected part of Romans was to Paul’s literary project.
