Reihe: The Emil Brunner Library

Brunner's commentary on Paul's Epistle to the Romans, concentrating on the fundamental theological arguments.

Emil Brunner regarded the Letter to the Romans as the closest thing in Scripture to a theological treatise-indeed, the "chapter of destiny of the Christian Church". Across centuries of Christian thought, the understanding of Paul's great epistle has shaped the very foundations of faith. Here, in Luther's words, is the "purest gospel", the source from which Christian belief draws its life and upon which its existence depends.

In this profound meditation, Brunner brings his years of scholarly insight to bear on the central questions that have long occupied theologians: what did Paul seek to say to the Romans, and what does God continue to say to us today? Concentrated, decisive and deeply instructive, Romans stands as one of the most closely argued works of the New Testament-at once theological and intensely personal.

With clarity and depth, Brunner elucidates the powerful Pauline arguments that have become the bedrock of Christian belief and proclamation, offering readers a compelling guide to one of the most influential texts in Christian history.
