Scholars have long debated the "double character" of Romans. Why did Paul address a long discussion of Jewish themes to a Gentile audience? Das provides a fresh understanding of the identity and attitudes of the Gentile Christians in Rome and of the expulsion of Jews from Rome under the emperor Claudius. His reading offers new insight into Paul's concern for the Jewish roots of the Christ movement.
A Andrew Das holds the Niebuhr Distinguished Chair in the Department of Theology and Religion at Elmhurst College, Illinois, USA. He is the author of three books, including Paul and the Jews.
"Andrew Das' Solving the Romans Debate powerfully and cogently argues a solution ... that makes perennial problems vanish and that produces a credible coherence that has been lacking in the Romans debate. All of those who are serious about that debate must read this book." -- Stanley Stowers "Professor of Religious Studies, Brown University"
