Series: Wisdom Commentary Series

Can a feminist interpretation of Romans discover anything new? In this volume, Christian Eberhart pays special attention to the fact that Paul entrusted Phoebe, a gentile woman, with the task of delivering the letter to Rome. There, she would have been the person who recited it aloud and by heart in front of various audiences. Yet as the leader of a congregation in Corinth, Phoebe had likely also been involved in the process of composing the letter, as some passages reveal. This multifaceted engagement of a woman gives new meaning to the vision of human society in Romans that celebrates the full participation of women and men, Jews and gentiles, weak and strong, and free and slave.

Reviews for Romans

""Those who thought we did not need another thick commentary on Paul’s Letter to the Romans, will probably change their mind after reading this volume. Christian Eberhart manages to combine a polyphony of intersecting voices, detailed exegetical discussions of verses and words and his own original ideas. My guess is that this commentary will be a must read for future generations of Roman scholars, due to its variety and solidity."" Marianne Bjelland Kartzow, Professor of New Testament Studies at the Faculty of Theology, University of Oslo
