The 11th volume of the Theological Threads series, The Function of Law in Romans, explores what the apostle Paul meant when he uses "law" in his epistle to the church in Rome. Many polemics have accused Paul of having an inconsistent or self-contradictory message about the Jewish law. However, this treatise researches his preference to explain by moving from problem to solution, the use of 'the age of flesh' and 'the age of the Spirit', and how they resolve the so-called problems with Paul's theology.
