Reflecting upon the fate of Jews and Gentiles, Paul wins his audience to a vision of a God who always acts inclusively. The God who, in the person of Israel's Messiah (Jesus), has acted faithfully to include the Gentile peoples within the community of salvation, will not fail to see to the eventual inclusion of Israel as well. In the victory of grace displayed already in the risen humanity of Jesus, the original design of the Creator for human communities and for the world begins to come true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interpretation of Paul's letter to Rome has accompanied and stimulated the path of Christian theology down to today. \u003cem\u003eRomans\u003c\/em\u003e touches upon virtually all main issues of Christian theology, as well as presenting a rewarding introduction to Paul.
