She invites readers to recognize individuals in scripture, especially the names we often skip over in the Epistles. Roman House Churches is in part a theological treatise on Paul's writings and their use in the church, and in part a process-oriented resource for adult education classes. Finger suggests role-playing the reading of the Epistles of Paul with people taking on the characteristics of the addressees of the letters. A feminist undertaking, this emphasizes the humanness of the recipients, the difficulties Paul was addressing in each church, and the role of many individuals in the on-going work of Paul. This easily read work will bring alive the scriptures and the church.
Finger evangelizes in word and deed.
