This 1999 book situates Romans 14.1-15.13 in the context of
first-century Roman thought, using the lenses of asceticism
(especially vegetarianism), superstition and obligation. It also
seeks to situate this section of Romans within the letter as a
whole, and concludes by arguing that the section illustrates the
theme, or primary topos, of the letter: that Paul, his gospel, and
those who follow it are not shameful. Contributions to Romans
research surface where this book examines the terms 'strong' and
'weak' in light of their use within Roman social discourse;
identifies the Roman social value of obligation throughout the
letter as a key element both within Paul's self-understanding and
in his ethical teaching; raises previously unrecognized
implications of the letter's occasional nature for how we read and
use Romans; and traces the topos of not being ashamed through the
letter and back to its roots in the LXX.
