Judgment According to Works in Romans - Kevin W. McFadden - Bog

Kevin W. McFadden shows that Paul wrote the letter to remind Roman Christians of his gospel because of his vocation as apostle to the Gentiles. The letter simultaneously demonstrates the guilt of the world and calls Pauls audience to live out the implications of the gospel. The theme of judgment thus appears in two distinct ways. Paul opposes justification by works of law, but simultaneously affirmsas did most of the early Christian movement, McFadden arguesa final judgment according to works. These are not contradictory observations but belong together in a cohesive understanding of Pauls theology and of his purpose in the letter.
