  Esler provides an analysis of Paul's epistle to the Romans, employing social-scientific methods along with epigraphy and archaeology. His conclusion is that Paul was attempting to facilitate the resolution of intergroup conflict among the Christ-followers of Rome, especially between Judeans and non-Judeans, and to establish a new identity for them.
