Unlocking Romans shifts from the standard theme of righteousness and views it through the lens of Christ's resurrection and humankind's.
Resurrection becomes the leitmotiv of Romans. In answering the question of how far the fatherhood of Abraham may extend, "The resurrection functions as Paul's hermeneutic key for reinterpreting the identity of the people of God" (83). Although Professor Kirk travels through the epistle, this is not a commentary but a critical analysis and a fresh perspective.
A must-read for those wishing to understand Paul and his most important Epistle.
