God’s Power for Salvation: Romans 1,1-5,11

In this volume the proceedings of the 24th Colloqium Oecumenicum

Paulinum, which gathered from September 12-17 2016 in the Abbazia di

San Paolo fuori le mura to study the first five chapters of Paul’s

Letter to the Romans, are published. In eight essays leading Pauline

scholars from Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox tradition discuss all

sections of the text of Romans 1,1-5,11 in great detail. Reconstructing

Paul’s arguments on human sin, God’s gift of redemption and

justification for those who trust in his power to save them through the

death and resurrection of Christ, the scholars present the current state

of research on the first part of Paul’s Letter to the Romans.
