Sommario/riassunto

Christopher Bryan aims to show which literary type or genre would have been seen by Paul's contemporaries as being exemplified in the letter to the Romans. He also examines Paul's attitude and approach to the Jewish bible and makes comparison with other texts from Paul's time, place and milieu.
