More on Paul’s Priestly Service in the Gospel

Love this quote from D.W.B. Robinson:

Paul cannot separate his own role from the operation of the gospel which he thus expounds to his Gentile readers in Rome. Romans is both an exposition of the gospel of hope and at the same time Paul’s apologia for his ‘priesthood’ in that gospel.
