RCS NT 07: Romans 1-8

With its themes of grace, sin, justification, and salvation through Christ
alone, Paul's letter to the early church in Rome has been a primary focus of
Christian reflection throughout church history. Sixteenth-century reformer
Martin Luther reflected the church's longstanding emphasis on this portion of
the canon: This letter is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. " It is purest Gospel. . . . It is impossible to read or to meditate on this
letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it
becomes and the better it tastes."$9780830829705"
In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture, church historian
Gwenfair Adams guides readers through a diversity of early modern commentary on
the first eight chapters of Paul's epistle to the Romans. Readers will hear
from familiar voices as well as discover lesser-known figures, from a variety
of theological traditions including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans,
and Roman Catholics. Drawing upon a wide range of resources - including
commentaries, sermons, treatises, and confessions - much of which appears here
for the first time in English, this volume provides resources for contemporary
preachers, enables scholars to better understand the depth and breadth of
Reformation commentary, and seeks to help all those who desire to be united
with Christ.
