Top Highlights
“the previously hardened majority and the believing minority. It need not mean literally every single Israelite.” (Volume 2, Page 51)
“Our death and resurrection with Christ render it inconceivable that we should go back. It is in this sense that our sinful self has been deprived of power and we have been set free.” (Volume 1, Page 99)
“Consequently, they kept reminding the churches of the original message and calling them back to it. Paul’s second reason for writing has to do with his unique ministry as the apostle to the Gentiles. Although he did not found the church in Rome, he has authority to teach its members on account of his special vocation, by God’s grace alone, to be the apostle to the Gentiles.” (Volume 2, Page 106)
“Our first response to Paul’s indictment should be to make certain that we have accepted this divine diagnosis of our human condition as true, and that we have fled from the just judgment of God on our sins to the only refuge there is, namely, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins.” (Volume 1, Page 58)
“If we are to be committed to world mission, we too will have to be liberated from all pride of race, nation, tribe, caste and class, and acknowledge that God’s gospel is for everybody, without exception and without distinction. This is a major theme of Romans.” (Volume 1, Page 18)
