Top Highlights
“The major theme throughout this masterpiece is the powerful message of the cross of Christ, where God’s wrath for sin and mercy on sinners finds its fulfillment and unity.” (Page 8)
“Paul begins his instruction with words about creation and the natural order, and then proceeds to show how mankind’s disobedience brought disruption to them. Then Paul moves methodically—but beautifully—through the story of the Bible itself, recounting God’s justice and grace throughout history, from the days of the patriarchs until the time of his writing. At the same time, Paul lays out the ‘anatomy’ of salvation, telling both the wide-lens story of God’s work in history to restore fallen creation and the finer, narrow-lens story of how God saves sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ. Readers of Romans see both the wide-angle view and the close-up view of salvation.” (Page 7)
“How do you understand the contribution of Romans to Christian theology” (Page 10)
“The apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans is the longest of his letters and is brimming with his exhilarating captivation with the gospel of Jesus Christ.” (Page 7)
“Paul probably wrote this letter in response to specific doctrinal and practical questions. How does law relate to faith? How do we as Christians relate to the pre-Christian era? How were those who came before Christ saved? How does gospel ministry to the Gentiles affect the Jews’ standing with God? What unifies Jews and Gentiles in Christian practice? What divides them?” (Page 7)
