The The Letter to the Romans

The Letter to the Romans, in Emil Brunner's estimations, is, of all the books of the Bible, the closest to a theological treatise. Throughout centuries of Christian history, much has depended on the understanding and evaluation of Paul's letter to the Romans. Theologians have continued to consider the central questions of interpretation: what did Paul want to say to the Romans, and what does God want to say to us today? In Brunner's meditation on the great Epistle, he elucidates the Pauline arguments and interpretations which have long been foundational to Christian belief.
