Revolutionary translation of Romans 16 asserts that "Greet" is an imperative to acknowledge and receive the tremendous diversity of male, female, Jew, Greek, slave and free, listed by name. Writing with humor and contemporary illustrations, the author uses hints about the lives of these real people to build a paradigm for healing divisions among believers today. The book affirms the latest textual scholarship reconnecting chapter 16 as integral to the epistle, lifts up the role of women among early believers, and sees the epistle as a call to reconciliation between Jewish and Gentile believers, written while Paul was in the midst of a daring act of reconciliation.
