Beschreibung
Until now, most commentaries on biblical texts have reflected the cultural and philosophical biases of the commentator, not those of the biblical author. This has resulted in either missing or misconstruing the intent of the original writer, to the detriment of genuine understanding. Paul's letter to the Romans, in particular, has suffered from this treatment, and the varying and conflicting conclusions reached have led to many of the controversies that now bedevil the church.
