Overview

The Book of Romans vs. The Hebrew Bible is a verse-by-verse Orthodox Jewish evaluation of Paul's Epistle to the Romans. For centuries, Romans has been presented as a theological bridge between the New Testament and the Hebrew Bible. This study examines that claim directly. It asks whether Paul's arguments in Romans continue the covenantal, legal, and theological framework of the Tanakh-or whether they introduce a different system. The book analyzes Romans within the internal rules of the Hebrew Bible and Jewish tradition. Questions of authority, prophecy, righteousness, repentance, covenant, and divine justice are evaluated according to Torah standards rather than later Christian doctrine. Each passage is examined through a consistent structure: the Pauline claim, its traditional interpretation, relevant Tanakh texts, halakhic principles, linguistic considerations, historical context, and a concluding assessment within an Orthodox Jewish framework. The central question remains consistent throughout: When Paul speaks in Romans, is he continuing the Hebrew Bible-or replacing it?

Author Information

Frans Hansen is an independent biblical researcher devoted to disciplined, text-centered reading of Scripture. His work is grounded in a simple conviction: the Hebrew text governs its own meaning, and interpretation must remain accountable to language, structure, and covenant context. Hansen approaches Tehillim and the wider Tanakh with methodological consistency. He reads within mesorah, prioritizes peshat, and resists importing theology, sentiment, or later systems into poetic speech. For him, Scripture is not a collection of inspirational fragments but a coherent covenant document that can be examined carefully, tested rigorously, and taught responsibly. His writing is marked by clarity, restraint, and structural precision. Rather than offering devotional impressions or speculative symbolism, he seeks to identify what the text permits, what it requires, and where interpretation must stop. This approach has drawn readers who value intellectual honesty, reverence for Hebrew, and disciplined engagement with tradition. In this volume on Tehillim, Hansen applies that same method to all 150 psalms, reading them as covenant speech spoken within Israel's history and preserved through Jewish transmission.
