Reading Through Romans

The fourth volume in this series, which also includes volumes on Galatians, Colossians and Ephesians, and Hebrews, follows the same principles as its predecessors. As Rodney Hume writes: have aimed to provide straightforward guides explaining the original meaning of the text. I avoid, as far as is possible, entering into theological controversy. My priority is to establish the meaning, as I believe that we must study carefully the original text before we use it to support any doctrinal or sociological viewpoint. Furthermore, I am concerned above all with what the text meant to a first-century reader. This is particularly necessary when studying the letter to the Romans, a document which has so often been interpreted in the light of contemporary concerns or obsessions' Here, then, is a guide intended for use by an individual or a group of students, anyone who is prepared to take the study of the scriptures seriously. It provides a basic introduction to one of the most important works in Christian literature. C. R. Hume read Greats at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, before going on to a career in education.
