Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Romans: Introduction


1
Romans Introduction
  • Letter resembles theological essay, lacking the
    specific problem-solving advice that
    characterizes most of Pauls letters
  • Paul writes to a church of which he has no
    first-hand knowledge
  • Much of the language is similar to Galatians with
    a focus on the problem of Judaism and Jewish
    Christianity

2
Romans 16
  • Paul acquainted with quite a number of the
    believers in Rome
  • Some think Rom 16 constitutes a separate letter
    of introduction for Phoebe, perhaps originally
    intended for Ephesus
  • Rom 16 and the leadership of women Phoebe as
    deacon and benefactor Junia, the woman
    apostle. House churches.

3
Pauls Theology
  • Romans 5 Justification, suffering, and hope.
    Reconciliation. Adam and Christ. Sin is
    multiplied through the Law solution, grace
    abounds.
  • Romans 6 Dying to sin. Does being under grace
    mean that we should sin because we are no longer
    under law? The free gift of God is eternal life
    in Jesus Christ.

4
Pauls Theology
  • Rom 7 Perhaps the most heavily debated text in
    the NT. Paul speaks uncharacteristically of his
    inner struggle with law and sin.
  • Generally Pauls speaks negatively of the Law and
    his past life, in light of the surpassing glory
    of the Christ. The Solution came before the
    problem.

5
Pauls Theology
  • Romans 8 Life in the Spirit, suffering, and
    cosmic renewal
  • Romans 9-11 The rejection of Christ by the
    Jewish people and Pauls anguish election and
    the grandeur of God are the Jews still Gods
    chosen people?
  • Gods plan for the universe
