- Keith Giles has written extensively on biblical topics, including the Book of Romans.
- The collaborative project with Matthew de Stefano was born out of a shared concern about the misinterpretation of Romans.

- The technique of prosopopeia is used by Paul to present opposing viewpoints in his arguments.
- Many Bible teachers overlook the dual voices present in Romans, leading to misinterpretation.
- The authors aim to present a more compassionate and loving interpretation of Paul's teachings.
- Unity in the church does not require agreement on all issues, according to Paul's teachings.
- The clobber passages in Romans are often taken out of context and misapplied.
