In On Romans and Other New Testament Essays, C. E. B. Cranfield applies his exhaustive understanding of the book of Romans to issues about which there is currently much lively debate. Topics considered include what Paul meant by “the works of the law”, whether Paul meant pistis Christou to be understood as “faith in Christ” or “Christ’s faith", and whether the Old Testament law has a continuing place in the life of the Christian church. Cranfield’s knowledge of the scriptures is here also applied to several key books written by his contemporaries. These response essays help to contextualize the topics in the larger theological community.
Throughout On Romans, Cranfield explores the vital theological implications of seemingly inconsequential academic discussions. He never loses sight of the relevance of theology and of New Testament studies to the life of the church and the Christian in today’s world.
Professor Cranfield has no masters, and few, if any, equals in this generation, as an interpreter of Romans.

There is a feeling of passionate cut and thrust in all these New Testament debates to which Professor Cranfield contributes.
