Produktbeschreibung
In Lutheran circles, Romans may be one of the most treasured books of the scriptures, outside perhaps the Gospel themselves. It is a seat of doctrine for countless faithful teachings on justification, original sin, and the Christian vocational life. In this commentary, Rev. Dr. Michael Middendorf provides an original translation of the first eight chapters of Romans, emphasizing the epistle's history as an extremely well testified and complete document of the church. He gives great weight to the text itself, with extensive textual notes, chapter introductions, and comments. Middendorf supplements this work with additional comments and excursi on contextual, historical, and pastoral aspects of Romans. FeaturesA commitment first and foremost to pastors and lay readers in their study of God's Word Abundant references to areas the Lutheran Confessions cite Romans A stance in favor of the forensic implications of Paul's justification theology EssaysPerspective on Paul and the New Perspective on Paul Rhetorical and Epistolatory forms in Romans Hearing Romans and Hermeneutics About the series The Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text. The series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text. The foremost interpretive lens centers on the unified proclamation of the person and work of Christ across every Scriptural book. The Commentary fully affirms the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and authority of Scripture; Each passage bears witness to the confession that God has reconciled the world to Himself through the incarnation, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Christ His Son. Authors expose the rich treasury of language, imagery, and thematic content of the Scripture, while supplementing their work with additional research in archaeology, history, and extrabiblical literature. Throughout, God's Word emanates from authors careful attention and inculcates the ongoing life of the Church in Word, Sacrament, and daily confession.
