Globalization. Homelessness. Ecological and economic crisis.
Conflicts over sexuality. Violence. These crisis-level issues may
seem unique to our times, but Paul's Letter to the Romans has
something to say to all of them. Following their successful
Colossians Remixed, Sylvia Keesmaat and Brian Walsh unpack the
meaning of Romans for its original context and for today. The
authors demonstrate how Romans disarms the political, economic, and
cultural power of the Roman Empire and how this ancient letter
offers hope in today's crisis-laden world. Romans Disarmed helps
readers enter the world of ancient Rome and see how Paul's most
radical letter transforms the lives of the marginalized then and
now. Intentionally avoiding abstract debates about Paul's theology,
Keesmaat and Walsh move back and forth between the present and the
past as they explore themes of home, economic justice, creation
care, the violence of the state, sexuality, and Indigenous
reconciliation. They show how Romans engages with the lived reality
of those who suffer from injustice, both in the first century and
in the midst of our own imperial realities.
