Reviews

‘Informative and well-written, it will make a significant contribution to Pauline studies... Paul would, I think, be pleased with this application of his theology of reconciliation... Constantineanu's book is a welcome demonstration, both for Pauline scholars and for Christians living in conflict-divided communities, of the power of the gospel of God to make broken and wounded relationships a new creation.'
*Theology*

Informative and well-written, it will make a significant contribution to Pauline studies.
*Theology Vol 114 No. 4*

... an excellent book... a very useful study.
*Journal for the Study of The New Testament, Volume 33 Number 5*

In addition to its unusual relevance for the situation of religious competition, this well-written and carefully documented study provides a healthy reorientation in interpreting the reconciliation theme in Romans and elsewhere. It introduces a significant new voice in the current ecumenical discourse in Pauline theology and ethics. This book is strongly recommended for pastors and students.
*Review of Biblical Literature*

This book... should be read by anyone interested in studying religion's role in reconciling earthly conflicts. Scholars interested in a narrative analysis of biblical texts, and in the theology of the NPP should also read this book.
