We all know of Romans as the text from which comes our understanding of justification by faith alone. Allen, however, emphasizes the ecclesiological corrective nature of Paul’s letter: a letter calling on gentile Christians to abandon their arrogant idolatry and offer welcome to Jewish Christians returning to Rome. He opens a wide range of analogies for relevant sermons to the twenty-first century church. Struggling to preach in our strident context? Get this book!
