Overview
In a world torn by racial, social, economic, political, and gender tensions, the message of Romans is deeply relevant and needed. It is a message both powerful and simple: Christ loved us while we were enemies of God. Can we, then, not follow his example and love those who are different than us? Romans will prepare us to do so.
The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.
- Provides pastoral and contextual exposition
- Combines exegesis and application
- Empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts
This commentary on Paul’s letter to the Roman Christians is an example that contextualization is more than just finding an application from ancient Scripture for today’s contexts. Contextualization requires an understanding of the world of the Scripture together with its message, a comprehension of the contemporary context, and an awareness that our interpretation of the Scripture today is shaped by our understanding of the world around us. Andrew Spurgeon is conscious of these elements as he steers us through the book of Romans. A readable writing style coupled with an understanding of both the ancient Mediterranean and modern Asian contexts make Spurgeon’s commentary on Romans useful not only for Asian readers but also for readers from other regions.
