"""Romans is probably the most influential of Paul's letters. It is an epistle dripping with deep theological perspective. Romans and the Mission of God gives us a solid biblical-theological look at its many themes tied to the church's mission. There is much to appreciate and ponder in this important study of the many angles this precious epistle gives to the church."" --Darrell Bock, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Dallas Theological Seminary ""It is gratifying to see biblical scholars who have a love for the church and a commitment to its mission deploy their academic gifts in service of God's people. Mark Keown is one of a growing number of biblical scholars who demonstrate how a missional hermeneutic can open up fresh insight into the biblical text. I have been looking for a good missional reading on Romans and so am personally grateful for this book. Keown exhibits fine biblical scholarship connected with a sensitivity to mission that will surely equip the church for its missional vocation."" --Michael W. Goheen, Professor of Missional Theology, Covenant Theological Seminary, St. Louis ""In this engaging book, Mark Keown explores Romans from a missional perspective. He discusses the many facets and dimensions of mission in Romans, Paul's mission manifesto par excellence. The result is a book that helps us to see both mission and Romans with new eyes, and to gain many new insights. But as well as much learning, Mark Keown has a heart for God's mission in today's world, and that heart shines through this book. He has given us a study of Romans that will be greatly valued by all those who want to think more deeply about mission in our world today."" --Paul Trebilco, Professor of New Testament Studies, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand"
