What is The Mystery of Romans: The Jewish Context of Paul's Letters about?

Paul's Letter To The Romans, Says Nanos, Is An Example Of Jewish Correspondence, Addressing Believers In Jesus Who Are Steeped In Jewish Ways-whether Of Jewish Or Gentile Origin. Arguing Against Those Who Think Paul Was An Apostate From Judaism, Nanos Maintains Paul's Continuity With His Jewish Heritage. Several Key Arguments Here Are: Those Addressed In Paul's Letter Were Still An Integral Part Of The Roman Synagogue Communities. The Weak Are Non- Christian Jews, While The Strong Included Both Jewish And Gentile Converts To Belief In Jesus. Paul As A Practicing Devout Jew Insists On The Rules Of Behavior For The Righteous Gentiles. Christian Subordination To Authorities (romans 13:1-7) Is Intended To Enforce Submission To Leaders Of The Synagogues, Not Roman Government Officials. Paul Behaves In A Way To Confirm The Very Jewish Portrait Of Him In Acts: Going First To The Synagogues. To The Jew First And Also To The Greek -- The Historical Backdrop And Implied Audience -- Who Were The Weak And The Strong In Rome? -- The Apostolic Decree And The Obedience Of Faith -- Paul's Two-step Pattern And The Restoration Of All Israel -- Romans 13:1-7 : Christian Obedience To Synagogue Authori
