#9 Beverly Roberts Gaventa: Romans, Paul, Phoebe, and the "Apocalyptic" Gospel

For decades Beverly Roberts Gaventa has been one of the world's leading Pauline scholars. In this conversation we explore one of the Bible's most influential—and most misunderstood—letters. We discuss: • Why Romans is not a "Romans Road"• What an apocalyptic reading of Paul actually means• Why Sin…

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Introduction

Season 15 kicks off with the start of To Rome With Love, and this first episode is all about getting our bearings before we dive into Romans properly. Jo Leutton, Chris Knott, and Alex Walker take a step back and ask the questions that help the letter come into focus: who Paul was writing to, what …

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Chapter 1

Chris is away, so Jo and Alex soldier on alone for a deep dive into Romans chapter one.

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Chapter 2

Still with Chris away, Jo and Alex press on through Romans chapter two, picking up straight after chapter one's diagnosis of the Gentile world.

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Chapter 4

We find Romans 4 in the flow of Paul's argument: having shown that no one is justified by works of the law, Paul turns to Abraham to prove that faith, not law-keeping, has always been how people entered right relationship with God. Verses one to eight set up the contrast between wages earned and a …

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Chapter 5

With Chris away this week, Jo and Alex tackle Romans chapter 5 as a two-hander, opening with a read-through of verses 1–11. They start with the "where does this chapter sit?" question. After the argument of chapters 1–4, Paul pivots: Jesus returns to the centre of the text after being largely absen…

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Chapter 8

With Jo on holiday, Chris and Alex open with a quick recap of chapter 7. The law was good but powerless, sin was pervasive, and the chapter ended with Paul's cry: who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ. They then read verses 1–11. They unpack "no condemnat…

To Rome With Love! The Letter to the Romans: Chapter 9

The episode opens with verses 1–5 and places chapters 9–11 within Romans. They are the "saddle" between the peaks of chapters 8 and 12, a section commentators read in very different ways and some see as the letter's climax. Paul's grief, and his wish to be cut off for his people, echoes Moses after…
