Sebastian Castellio wrote his Annotation on Rom 9 during stormy times. After the trial against Miguel Servetus and the ensuing polemic from Castellio and his allies against it, Geneva came to see Sebastian Castellio as a threat against the reformation. His Annotation on Rom 9 probably confirmed this verdict. Castellio used it to speak out against John Calvin’s doctrine on predestination and to elaborate on his own ideas about the perfectibility of humans. Castellio published his Annotation on Rom 9 only once, in his 1554 Latin Bible. In subsequent editions it was replaced by an asterisk and the short remark “maior serviet minori.” Many scholars assumed that it was censorship of Castellio’s text and even took it for granted that it was erased from Castellio’s Bible. But that is certainly not what happened: censorship was probably less severe than scholars have so often assumed. This critical edition together with the English translation makes Castellio’s first polemical writing on predestination easily accessible. The introduction describes the context in which Castellio wrote his Bible and elaborates on his biblical scholarship.

"While the Christianity of our time seems to be agonizing, the Epistle to the Romans takes up the challenge and relaunches the Gospel as the only answer worthy of consideration. In Romans, God's passion in Christ for every human person continues to pulsate. The gospel that permeates the letter is always new because God and the human being are deeply involved through Jesus Christ and the active presence of the Spirit. The countless questions that the letter addresses concern every human being, believer and non-believer. A masterpiece like the Epistle to the Romans never fades into oblivion, but always awaits those who, deepening it more and more, see and recognize themselves in it. Epistolary rhetoric is not superfluous, nor a simple decorative discourse, much less it belongs to empty eloquence, On the contrary, epistolary rhetoric is the essential vehicle for content in Romans." --provided by publisher, back cover.
