«This magisterial commentary frames the insights gained over the course of a long and distinguished career with the very latest in social identity theory and in Paul-within-Judaism interpretations. William S. Campbell opens up Paul’s Letter to the Romans in new and exciting ways, enabling us to read Paul with fresh eyes, and with refreshed appreciation.»

Paula Fredriksen, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel

«William S. Campbell brings a career of uncommon insight and careful investigation to this splendid commentary, the work of a patient and intrepid scholar. Close attention to Paul’s argumentation allows us to see the fraught cultural and political context into which the apostle sought to intervene—a situation in which presumption and prejudice threatened to derail the Christ movement almost from the start. This is at once an indispensable historical and theological resource.»
