In this new book Sarah Casson illustrates how the New Testament Greek connective gar offers a vital clue to the coherence of Romans. The book harnesses the cognitive approach of relevance theory to show how gar functions as an indispensable guide for tracing the significant points of Paul's argument and for resolving questions about the coherence of verses and sections. The work engages with key debates regarding the purpose of Romans and challenges some recent influential interpretations.
