Summary:

Romans 3 contains exegetically stormy waters, where even the most capable interpreters may feel at sea. In this book, an international group of scholars put their oars into these choppy waters, shedding new light on this wonderful and complex passage of Scripture. The focused and methodologically varied approach allows for greater depth of research than is generally possible in commentaries. Specialists on Romans, especially Romans 3, will find in this book a wealth of information. Likewise, it will be of value to students in advanced exegetical classes and those doing postgraduate research on Romans 3 and related topics. This book is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Martin Webber on his 70th birthday.
