RCS NT 08: Romans 9-16

Writing to the early Christians in Rome, the apostle Paul said,
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of " your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is
good and acceptable and perfect (Rom 12:2 ESV).
"





Perhaps more than any other New Testament epistle, Paul's letter to
the Romans has been the focus of Christian reflection throughout the
church's history, transforming the minds and convicting the hearts of
believers. Sixteenth-century reformer Martin Luther reflected the church's
longstanding emphasis on this portion of the canon: Let the Epistle to " the Romans be the door and the key to holy Scripture for you; otherwise you
will never enter into a proper understanding and comprehension of the
Bible.
"





In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture, Philip Krey
and Peter Krey guide readers with care through a diversity of Reformation-era
commentary on the second half of Paul's letter to the Roman church. Among
the difficult issues addressed by Paul and commented on by early modern
exegetes were the predestination of God's elect, the destiny of Israel, the
role of Gentiles in salvation history, the ethical demands of the Christian
life, and the Christian's relationship to the state.






Here, readers will encounter familiar voices and discover lesser-known
figures from a variety of theological traditions, including Lutherans,
Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. The volume draws on a
variety of resources, including commentaries, sermons, treatises, and
confessions, much of which appears here for the first time in English.
Gathering together these Reformation-era reflections, it provides resources for
contemporary preachers, enables scholars to better understand the depth and
breadth of Reformation biblical commentary and aids the ongoing transformation
of the minds-and lives-of people today.
