The Story of Romans: A Narrative Defense of God's Righteousness

A. Katherine Grieb insightfully traces the argument of Pauls letter to the Romans and shows how it is grounded in the story of Gods faithfulness to Israel. She draws together a number of crucial insights: the narrative character of Pauls thought the apocalyptic message of his gospel the depth of his engagement with Israels Scripture and the practical and political impact of his theology. She demonstrates the letters relevance today and invites contemporary readers to locate their own stories within Pauls account of Gods righteousness. Informed by recent Pauline scholarship this book will be useful to scholars students and pastors.
