"Submission to Governing Authorities: A Study of Romans 13:1-7," Matthew
G. Neufeld, Direction, 1994.
- "Paul?s directions are for Jewish Christians to refrain from nationalistic agitations; here is not a universal manifesto on church-state relations."
-
"Social Identity, the Virtues, and the Good Life: A New Approach to Romans
12:1 - 15:13," Philip F. Esler, Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2003.
- "...this part of the letter can be interpreted both as Paul's attempt to outline descriptors of the new identity his addressees experience as members of the Christ-movement, especially in relation to agape, and as a vision of the moral life very similar to the Aristotelian interest in the virtues as the means to promote human flourishing."
