Natural Revelation and the Purpose of the Law in Romans

  • Semi-Technical
  • Mark A. Seifrid

This article believes that it is impossible to treat Paul’s understanding of the law of Moses rightly apart from at least some discussion of "natural revelation" in Paul’s letter to the Romans.

The Jewish Context of Paul's Gentile Mission

  • Semi-Technical
  • James C. Miller

This article draws from evidence in the letter to the Romans and argues that the apostleship of Paul consisted in bringing the believing Gentiles into unity with the Jewish believers, as one people united in praise to God. This meant that the nature of his apostleship necessitated working with Jews whenever possible. This understanding of Paul's calling demands a rethinking of what it means to call Paul "apostle to the Gentiles."

Paul Writes to the Greek First and Also to the Jew: The Missiological Significance of Understanding Paul's Purpose in Romans

  • Technical
  • Jackson Wu

This article considers Paul's purpose in writing Romans. Wu wants to demonstrate exegetically that Paul's motive in writing Romans was to motivate them to support his mission to the “barbarians” in Spain. He argues that the letter’s theology exists to allow Paul to preach the gospel where Christ had not been known (Romans 15:20). Wu works out the implications for the church's missiological and pastoral practice.
