This week I am giving away a copy of The Romans Debate, Revised and Expanded Edition (1991, Baker Academic). This collection of essays on Romans was first published in 1977 and then reprinted and expanded in 1991 by Hendricksen. The current printing of the book is under from Baker Academic. This is one of the best resources for anyone doing serious work in Romans. The book collects key essays in the book of Romans from as early as 1962. All of the essays were published elsewhere, but this 372 page volume makes them available with a full set of indices.
This book is a brand new paperback (with a remainder mark) and is my own copy.
Same rules as last week: Enter by leaving a comment telling me which essay you will read first. On Tuesday January 16 I will randomly select one comment and ship the book out to the lucky winner. If you leave more than one comment, I will only count one comment per person for the contest.
Good Luck!

The Romans Debate by Bruce. I always liked his writings and assume he’ll give a great orientation.

I’ve just read an interesting chapter in Harink’s Paul Among the Postliberals that makes me want to read Beker’s The Faithfulness of God and the Priority of Israel in Paul’s Letter to the Romans first!

The Faithfulness of God and the Priority of Israel in Paul’s Letter to the Romans by Beker likely followed by The Roman Christians of Romans 16 by Lampe.

Wow nice giveaway! I’m preaching on Romans right now so this looks neat! Like any other book I would start from the beginning so I would start with “St. Paul’s Letter to the Romans–and Others” by T. W. Manson. I am definitely eyeing “The Form and Function of the Greek Letter-Essay” by Martin Luther Stirewalt, Jr as something of interests!

I am very interested in the essay ‘The Faithfulness of God and the Priority of Israel in Paul’s Letter to the Romans’ by J. C. Beker. I would likely start with that one.

The Letter to Jerusalem by Jacob Jervell. Your book was listed as a source in my textbook for my class: Romans. It mentions that “Paul is preoccupied with this issue that he delivers in Romans the speech he hopes to make in Jerusalem.” This comment sparked my interest as I study Romans. Your book is not offered in my library at Liberty University. I found this book giveaway during a search on google for the essay. I know its aways from January, but if you would have mercy, I would love to read your book alongside this course of study. Thank you for your time. By His Grace, Summer

Sorry, this giveaway was over January 16 and I no longer have the book to give you. It is in the Liberty Library, although it is in the “robotic system” (which sounds scary to me).

Awesome! Yeah, I figured, but no loss in trying. It is in the LU library, just not at my fingertips, since its in the “Robotic system” there is no digital preference. You teach at LU?
