Robert Lewis examines Paul's use of the phrase "Spirit of Adoption" in Romans 8:12-17 against the background of its Roman Imperial context in order to shed light on interpretation of Paul's Letter to the Romans. Whereas other scholars have explored what Paul may have meant when he uses the term "adoption" Lewis instead explores the reasons behind Paul's coupling of it with the term "spirit". Having examined theories for a possible Jewish antecedent for Paul's use of this phrase, and found them less than persuasive, Lewis unlocks the data within the term's Roman Imperial context that significantly clarifies what Paul means when he uses the phrase "Spirit of adoption". Lewis shows that when Paul wrote his letter to the Romans, adoption had become a feature of Imperial succession. Roman religion gave a great deal of prominence to the Roman family spirit - the genius. The Emperor's genius became identified as a deity in Roman religion and its veneration was widespread in Rome as well as the provinces. When Romans 8.12-17 is read against this background, a very different kind of exegetical picture emerges

This book offers a fresh approach to Paul's gospel. Applying linguistic discourse analysis to Romans 1:16-8:39, it helps the reader to gain a comprehensive understanding of the argumentative structure and contents of the gospel of Paul. As well as revealing the two underlying descriptive frameworks that Paul uses to explain his gospel about God's salvation - the interactive framework between God and humans, and the 'two-realm' framework - this book demonstrates that Paul's gospel consists of one 'peak point' that shows the central role of Jesus, and two 'sub-peaks' elucidating salvation.

Die Rede von Gott hat in der bisherigen Exegese des Römerbriefs kaum einen eigenen Gegenstand der Untersuchungen dargestellt. Die Studie widmet sich diesem zentralen Thema und weist in der textlinguistischen und rhetorischen Analyse wichtiger Texte des Römerbriefs auf, dass weder Jesus Christus noch die Anthropologie, sondern die Rede von Gott das entscheidende Argumentationsmuster im Römerbrief bildet. In der Frage des Primates der Christologie oder der Theologie und der christologischen Neubestimmung Gottes kann so eindeutig entschieden werden. Es wird auch der Frage nachgegangen, welchen theologischen Hintergrund die gesetzesfreie Heidenmission des Paulus hat. Dabei wird der alttestamentlich-frühjüdische Traditionshintergrund der paulinischen Darstellung aufgezeigt und mit einbezogen, um ein sicheres Fundament für die Beurteilung zu gewinnen, welche Position das paulinische Denken und sein Gottesbild im Spannungsfeld von Judentum und Christentum einnehmen und was es mit dem Selbstverständnis des Paulus auf sich hat.
