The Rhetoric of Romans: Argumentative Constraint and Strategy and Paul's Dialogue with JudaismIn The Rhetoric of Romans, Neil Elliott presents a rhetorical- critical reading of the letter that indicates that Paul wrote, not to counter Jewish opponents or aspects of the Jewish religion, nor to legitimize the law-free gentile church, but to warn against elements of the Hellenistic church's Christology and an incipient Christian supersessionism that threatened the collection in Jerusalem and the heart of his apostolic work. |

Page 9 - I want you to know/ brethren/ that I have often intended to come to you (but thus far have been prevented)/ in order that I may reap some harvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians/ both to the wise and to the foolish: so I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
