We increasingly recognize that Paul did not write his letter to the
Romans primarily out of doctrinal concerns. Paul B. Fowler presses
that insight home in this attentive, yet eminently readable, study
of the Letter's structure. The principles of Fowler's reading are
that rhetorical questions in Romans 3?11 structure the argument,
not as responses to criticism but as Paul's careful guiding of the
reader, and that these chapters, like the paraenesis in Romans
12?15, address specific circumstances in Rome. Careful attention to
the rhetorical structure of the letter points to tensions between
Jew and Gentile that aggravate the already precarious situation of
the Roman congregation. In the course of his argument, Fowler
explodes the common conceptions that Paul employs diatribal
technique to answer objections and that he is primarily engaged in
a debate with Jews. In short, Fowler demonstrates that the apostle
is not writing defensively, but responding with sensitivity to the
volatile atmosphere caused by Claudius's expulsion of some Jews
from Rome. The book includes an appendix on rhetorical devices and
another on epistolary formulas in Paul's letters.
