In this volume, Philip Mauro begins a straightforward analysis of Paul’s epistle to the Romans, covering Romans 1 through Romans 5:11. He focuses on the prominent themes of God’s righteousness and the goodness of the Gospel, while discussing humanity’s fallen state, justification, God’s mercy, and much more, all in a clear and practical way.
“Touching the ‘mystery,’ he says that God ‘by revelation’ made it known unto him (Eph. 3:3); and concerning the rapture he said, ‘This we say unto you by the Word of the Lord (1 Thess. 5:15). But concerning the Gospel he is even more insistent in making it known that he did not receive it from any human source whatever, nor even from those who were apostles before him, but received it directly by a revelation from the risen Lord Jesus.” (Pages 20–21)
