Romans Unlocked is a commentary on Paul’s epistle written with the clear theological insight of faith, and with the conviction that an epistle must be read as a whole. René A. Lopez brings his extensive familiarity with the interpretive literature surrounding Romans, as well as the broader discussion of Paul and second Temple Judaism, to bear in this commentary. Where the literature relates to the message of Romans, Lopez validates his interpretation in light of the current scholarly discussion. As part of his academic awareness, Lopez carefully utilizes the original language to provide a more careful hearing of what Paul says.
Romans, among biblical books, is weighty theology. Its scope and depth of message makes it a book in which a guide is needed to navigate the reader through it. René A. Lopez does just that. He takes the reader through the door of understanding and addresses key questions such as: What does salvation mean in Romans? How can one have eternal life? How should Christians live? Can a Christian experience God’s wrath? Does God predestine people?
All believers need to spend time in the theology of Romans, and Romans Unlocked will deeply enrich the reader’s experience as he follows the thought of Paul.
