the Book of Romans down throughout history
How do I find out what the Church has said about the Book of Romans?
What did the Church Fathers think?
Middle Ages?
Reformation Era?
Modern Era?
I tried the Fact Book and other tools but way too many results.
Short of buying "more books" I'd rather try to learn all that L6/LN has to offer instead of just reading a synopsis in a book. I'd rather go to primary sources and do the study that way.

I was thinking about my question.
Is there a way to search "opinion" by either "eras" or time fragments? For example: Searching for opinions within the time frame of AD 100-350.
Or what about (Bob?) having a search filter designated as 'eras' or time segments.
Just a thought.

The new Systematic Theologies Interactive in Logos Now divides your systematic theologies into era's unfortunately it doesn't drill down into topic. Some day I hope it does, and someday I hope a simiilar tool is availabe for commentaries. In the meantime I think you would need to create collections for different eras's and the run searches and passage guides based around those collections. This will take a lot of work on your part though so may not really fulfil what you desire.
There is the following collecton of resources available:

and the following commentary will gather together patristic thought on Romans:

There are other who probably have some better suggestions on this sort of study or more useful resources than I can offer. It's a good question Milkman so I'd be interested in what they have to say also.

I keep asking for Blackwells Through the Ages Bible Commentary (reception history) but get no support. Unfortunately I don't think the volume on Romans is yet available. The TOC of http://smile.amazon.com/Reading-Romans-through-Centuries-Church/dp/1587431564/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454120112&sr=8-1&keywords=Romans+through+the+centuries#reader_1587431564 might tell you what commentators to begin with.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Interesting book. As some comments have alluded to, nice to have more of a selection, but as you say, it's a place to begin.
I'd buy the book in a heart beat!

Wait! This just in! FL does carry Reading Romans through the Centuries. I found that out by reading through the Lexham Bible Guide on Romans.

Nice I had forgotten about that one. Thanks MJ and Milkman

An interest in this type of question grew in me after reading sections of Luz's commentary on Matthew in School. I found that this was regularly a feature of the EKK series for which it was written in German, and so picked up a few volumes that had been translated into English. Since then the Luz has moved from Continental Commenaries to Hermeneia and has been joined by Bovon in English dress. I hope that more volumes from this German series will join it. In addition Rudolf Schnackenburg's Ephesians is available separately. Schweizer's Colossians was translated into English, but is not in print or available in Logos.
So, if you are interested in this type of thing, you may want to look at these books - even if it doesn't help you with Romans.

Good to know. I too heard about this in Seminary, but haven't "rekindled" the desire to go further with them/it until recently. Oh well, better later than never.
Thanks again.
