More About This Resource
At the heart of this book, where its warmth and energy are generated, is the gospel of Jesus Christ as taught in Paul's letter to the Romans. The author, Raymond C. Ortlund Jr., provides a paraphrase of the book of Romans and expands on its main points by adding prayers and reflections that apply Paul's epistle to Christians today.
Romans has inspired more leaders of the faith throughout history and spawned more revivals within the church than any other book in the Bible. Augustine, Martin Luther, and John Wesley all pointed to a reading of Romans as the beginning of their spiritual renewal. Indeed, of all Paul's letters, this one, sent to the citizens of the most powerful empire of ancient days, is the most compact, sophisticated, and all-encompassing in its summary of the Christian faith. It is the apostle's divinely inspired admonition that Christ held the answers to all of life's crucial questions.
