Abstract

"The long-awaited commentary by Dieter Lhrmann is now available to English-speaking audiences for the first time. It is a profound, succinctly written dialogue with the text that carefully follows the main points of Paul's arguments in his most controversial letter. The author presents a theological interpretation which takes seriously Paul's claims about the gospel and also provides a distinctive outline based on this close reading of the text. Also included are helpful discussions of the competing theologies of Paul and his opponents, a chart on Paul's career, and a map of the Roman world. Lhrmann is a highly acclaimed interpreter of the New Testament. This volume will be a valuable addition to a well-received commentary series" -- Publisher description.
