Sorin Sabou, The Theme of Romans in Dialogue with Patristic Exegesis, Jurnal teologic Vol 23, Nr 1 (2024): 5-15.
Abstract
Romans 1.16-17 is one of the most important Pauline texts and it constitutes the theme of the Epistle to the Romans. This foundational text was explained in a variety of ways by Christian theologians in the history of the Church. The thesis of this paper is that Patristic exegesis is different in various ways from the contemporary critical exegesis in that it is more pastorally focused and, as expected, related to the current theological debates of the day.
Keywords: Church Fathers, Letter to the Romans, Origen, Chrysostom, Ambrosiaster, Theodoret, gospel, righteousness of God.
