"The book is a welcome addition to the Romans through History and Culture series and ably demonstrates the impact of Paul's letter to the Romans upon the theology and culture of certain strains of Christianity in the early patristic period...Each of the essays in the collection and their responses heavily engage both primary and secondary sources. They are intelligent and informed, and as good academic pieces they will surely provoke deep thought and debate. Of particular value is the inclusion of responses to the essays by eminent historians and theologians...the responses in general offer insightful critique, move the discussion forward, and suggest new avenues of research. For those newer to the field, the responses also aid in identifying the leading edges of the arguments." —David A. Creech, Review of Biblical Literature, 4/2008
