Timothy Gombis on Paul's Letter to the Romans

Tim Gombis has been writing some great posts on Romans. Highly recommended. Here they are.

What sort of text is Romans?

Paul's 'Gospel' ministry in Romans

Paul's ministry of mutuality

Paul's apostleship and God's mission 

Paul's confidence in the gospel

Paul, Habakkuk and faithful improvisation

No one has an inside track with God

Justification and the unity of God's people

Faithful readings of the law foster unity

God's universal sovereignty and church unity

Ephesians, not Romans, represents Paul's theology

Body language in Romans, Part 1

Body language in Romans, Part 2

Body language in Romans, Part 3

Paul sends Abraham to Rome

Justifying the "ungodly"

This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let those who boast boast about this: that they understand and know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD." (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

What does JACOB stand for?

JACOB stands for Just Another Community Of Believers - or, more seriously, Justice Acceptance Community Obedience Bible.

I hope this blog can be a resource for Christ-followers, who love the Lord and the Bible, who want to proclaim Christ's death and resurrection with a passion and want to embody the values of God's kingdom here on earth. This blog is especially dedicated to the poor and powerless. May God's restorative justice be proclaimed in this out-of-joint world.
