Hello!

In class the other day, we were discussing Paul Nanos' take on the "weak" and
the "strong" in
Romans, and in response to his phrase "Luther's Trap" (Describing Luther's
recognition that
Paul does not want the Romans to whom he is writing 'the strong' to be
judgemental of the
the opinions of the 'weak'-14:1, while doing that very thing himself, in
describing the weak as
those whose faith is weak because they cling to old, unnecessary observances
of the Law.)
someone asked if that weren't originally an "Augustinian Trap."

Can anyone point me to an exegesis of Romans by Augustine that might help me
answer that
question for them?

Thanks much!

Jeff K.
