A Preface to Romans: Notes on the Epistle in its Literary and Cultural Setting
Bryan
approaches St. Paul's letter to the Romans with a number of aims in
view. First, he wants to show which literary type or genre would have
been seen by Paul's contemporaries as being exemplified in the letter.
He also attempts to determine what we can surmise of Paul's attitude and
approach to the Jewish bible. The study involves discussion of and
comparison with other literature from Paul's time, place and milieu ---
including other writings attributed to Paul.
