Final Account: Paul's Letter to the Romans
Krister Stendahl offers a provocative and
compelling reading of Paul's letter to the
Romans, the "final account" of the major
themes of Paul's theology. Among these are
the conceptual underpinnings of Paul's
mission, the grand divine plan for the
mending of creation, the redemption of
Israel, the mystery of the inclusion of the
Gentiles, and the relation of the "macro" to
the "micro" in Paul's thought—and much
more.

Endorsements
"The book is delightful reading, punctuated with humor, yet serious about expounding long-standing traditional interpretations of Paul and of Romans that fly in the face of the text and the spirit of Paul's intentions."

Excerpts
Krister Stendahl, as scholar and as preacher, as dean and as bishop, has demonstrated a remarkable capacity simultaneously to resonate to tradition and to be critical toward it. . . . He embodies the very quality to which he points: that by the tradition which he has transmitted he has equipped all of us who learn from him to go beyond him. And that, too, is a fitting position for someone who does not want to make disciples but to be one.
