In writing to the Roman believers, Paul emphasizes God's kingly power at work, beginning with Jesus' faith. All who share that faith are to continue his mission. With new servant righteousness and God's power, they challenge popular forms of piety that are comfortable with wealth, domination, and violence. The persecuted mission of Jesus brings together humble believers from diverse cultures under one Lord, the risen Jesus.
“An extraordinary commentary! Takes seriously the missionary author, subject matter, and original readers of Romans. Mosher shares insights from many missionaries who like Paul are practical persons. A thoroughly contemporary, delightfully practical, profoundly insightful, and at times troublingly challenging work. This commentary deserves the special attention of missionaries, pastors, Bible students, and academics alike.”
—Jonathan J. Bonk (from the Foreword), Professor of Global Christian Studies, Providence College and Seminary
“Mosher critiques Christian mission from the viewpoint of the powerless. A missionary prophet with a passion for justice and reconciliation, he includes fast-moving anecdotes of real people and events. This study in Romans will stimulate debate, dialogue, and repentance.”
—David W. Shenk, Overseas Ministries, Eastern Mennonite Missions
