In this volume the proceedings of the 24th Colloqium Oecumenicum Paulinum, which gathered from September 12-17 2016 in the Abbazia di San Paolo fuori le mura to study the first five chapters of Paul's 'Letter to the Romans', are published. In eight essays leading Pauline scholars from Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox tradition discuss all sections of the text of Romans 1,1-5,11 in great detail. Reconstructing Paul's arguments on human sin, God's gift of redemption and justification for those who trust in his power to save them through the death and resurrection of Christ, the scholars present the current state of research on the first part of Paul's Letter to the Romans.

Back cover: Rom 3:21-26 is crucial to the Letter to the Romans. Yet the construction and syntax of the pericope is perplexing, its meaning ambiguous or even obscure, its rhetoric complex and its interpretation and theology therefore controversial. Although clearly rich, its meaning is not easy to grasp in detail. For many interpreters, it concerns the justification of the human before God. For others it is about how Christ's faithful death justifies and redeems humanity. We can describe the former interpretation as anthropocentric, focused on a perceived human need; and the latter as christocentric, focused on the action of Christ. This book argues that a theocentric reading does more justice to the text. Other readings overlook the overwhelming centrality and activity of God in Paul's text. But a theocentric perspective provides a key which unlocks many of the puzzles in this passage and enables us to understand Romans 1-3.

Back cover: "The Spirit Helps Our Weakness" examines the fundamental question of how precisely the Spirit aids the weakness of believers. After an initial discussion on the way Rom 8,26-27 has been interpreted, the study explores the central issues and conclusions in scholarship on the Romans debate. Building upon that scholarship, this study contends that Paul's purpose in writing the letter revolved around a missiological imperative, which permeates the letter. The second part of the work provides an exegetical analysis of Rom 8,26a, including the way in which the clause fits within its broader context, particularly within vv. 26-27. In light of Paul's missiological motivation, this study argues that the Spirit serves as activating agent to accomplish God's mission. Ultimately, the missiological nature of the Spirit, working within believers, underlines the priority for Paul's ministry and by extension, his purpose for writing the Letter to the Romans.
