Smith thus focuses on 12:17-13:14 and 14:17-19, to provide the reader with fresh interpretive insights on the text of Romans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSmith proposes that Romans presents a political theology of peace that is intertextually \"double-voiced\", that the pairing of peace and justice in Romans is primarily informed by the political discourses of LXX Isaiah and LXX Psalms, but suggesting that this pairing is also presented in contrast to the Roman Empire's political ideals, as exemplified in the \u003ci\u003ePax Romana.\u003c\/i\u003e Ultimately, Smith argues that placing Romans in postcolonial-intertextual dialogue reveals that Paul's ethics construct a community that represents the justice and peace of God's eschatological kingdom in contrast to the justice and peace of the Roman Empire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dain Alexander Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567723712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567723710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Dain Alexander Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48242017730815,"sku":"9780567723710","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dad9751d-2b3f-4523-afdb-98734f5e9bca.jpg?v=1772657093","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-peace-in-dain-alexander-smith-9780567723710","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
