Sze-kar Wan delves into the profound social and political implications of Paul's final and longest letter. By emphasizing Paul's unwavering commitment to his ancestral tradition, Wan contends that Paul actively engages in the process of ethnic construction by incorporating non-Jews into the Ideal Israel. This idealized Israel, characterized by its claim of universality and the cosmic Son of God installed as king, stands in stark contrast to the Roman Empire. Wan presents the Letter to the Romans as Paul's extended argument, aimed at his Gentile audience, defending Ideal Israel and their rightful place within it. He does not overlook significant themes such as the good news, faith, belief, eschatology, and the collection for the poor. Furthermore, Wan offers a unique interpretation of Romans 13, reading it as a form of resistance against absolute authority. This perspective challenges historical interpretations that have defended oppressive regimes like American slavery and German Nazism. By presenting this defiant message in a fresh light, Wan provides readers with a valuable tool for resisting oppressive systems and promoting justice and equality.
