"Navigating Romans Through Cultures contains eight chapters of critical and contextualized readings of Paul's letters to the Romans by scholars from Europe, Africa, Latin America, North America, and Asia. This volume is an interpretive voyage into how Paul's gospel, contained in Romans, fulfills its original vision of "making known the gospel of Christ to all nations" (Rom. 16:26). The contributors attempt to express Paul's gospel in the terms of their own cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
