- Summary:
- "This volume explores Paul's use of Scripture and Roman imperialism, finding hermeneutical and theoretical clarity and a fresh understanding of peace in Romans by blending the fields of intertextuality and postcolonialism. Dain Alexander Smith interprets Romans with postcolonial intertextuality to reveal that Romans employs a consistent textual strategy for discussing the gospel, justice, and peace. This textual strategy opens the discourse of Romans to the political discourses of Scripture (Isaiah and the Psalms) and Roman imperialism"-- Provided by publisher.
