Dr. Beverly Roberts Gaventa | When in Romans

In this episode of Creating Space, Scott Lackey sits down with renowned New Testament scholar Dr. Beverly Roberts Gaventa to explore the book of Romans, Paul's vision of salvation, and the ongoing debates surrounding Pauline theology. Drawing from her influential works When in Romans and her recent New Testament Library commentary on Romans, Dr. Gaventa unpacks what it means to read Paul “apocalyptically” and why Romans continues to captivate scholars, pastors, and churches alike. Together, they discuss justification, Romans 9–11, the powers of Sin and Death, and how a more cosmic vision of salvation could reshape the church's mission today.
