Rereading ROMANS from the Perspective of Paul's Gospel
A Literary and Theological Commentary
"Yung Suk Kim’s new commentary on Paul’s letter to the Romans is powerful good news for readers who are seeking the foundation for an honest and upright life at a moment when moral values seem to be disappearing from the public square. Kim courageously challenges the traditional reading of Romans as a forensic treatise on the exoneration of guilty sinners by the vicarious death of Jesus. Kim reclaims Paul’s bold vision of the faithfulness of Jesus as the measure of a right life and the path forward to a just and reconciled world." —L. L. Welborn, Professor of New Testament and Early Christian Literature, Fordham University
"Yung Suk Kim’s book on Romans is a helpful, gospel-oriented explanation of Romans that consistently keeps Paul’s apostolic mission in mind. Its advantages are that it takes seriously the faithfulness of Jesus, beginning with its explanation of Romans 3:22-26, its attention to Paul’s focus on Israel and its salvation, and its attention to 12:1–15:13 as integral to Paul’s argument. This book will work well to introduce undergraduate and seminary students to Paul’s letter to the Romans." —Mark Reasoner, Professor of Biblical Theology, Marian University
