Publisher's Comments:
This study shows how classical Greek and Hellenistic philosophical and ethical traditions inform Paul's Letter to the Romans. It concentrates especially on Protreptic, a kind of literature deriving its name from the title of a lost writing of Aristotle that has been largely reconstructed by scholars in our time. The Protreptic writers seek to awaken their readers to a realization of human frailty and then to commit themselves to a new way of life. Guerra shows also how the political conditions of Nero's Rome are reflected herein.
The only book to examine at length the way in which the protreptic genre of writing has influenced Paul’s Letter to the Romans
Shows how the political and economic conditions of Nero’s Rome are reflected in the Letter
Will interest greatly classical scholars as well as scholars of the New Testament

Reviews:
"...a lucid and insightful discussion of the implications of reading Romans as a proteptic letter and for showing us where futher research is needed."
The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
"...makes a valuable contribution to the discussion of the literary genre of Romans and can be recommended to anyone interested in a serious study of Romans."
Thomas H. Tobin, Anglican Theological Review
"Guerra's well-supported thesis will have significant impact on future studies of this epistle."
Kirk Summers, Religious Studies Review
"This book breaks new ground and invites further investigation."
