Overview

What is the apostle Paul's message in his Letter to the Romans? And how does it apply to us today? Is there more to learn about Romans, and is there more for the church to hear today? Keith Stanglin takes this familiar epistle and makes sense of its author's original intent and its meaning for believers now. With attention both to the historical background and to our contemporary situation, he offers thirty-one meditations that take readers through the entire letter, beginning with the ancient arguments and arriving at modern exhortation. Each chapter is accompanied by discussion questions for use in classes and study groups. For scholars serving the church, this book is a welcome supplement to a technical commentary. For non-specialists, it is an introduction to Romans and an invitation to seek its wisdom. All readers will see Paul's message of God's grace in fresh ways.

Keith Stanglin presents a refreshing journey through Romans, demonstrating the impact of Romans in the history of Christianity and its continuing power to shape Christian identity. With his careful reading of the text, he integrates a knowledge of contemporary scholarship with the issues that confront contemporary believers. This study is an excellent guide for preaching or group Bible studies. --James W. Thompson, Abilene Christian University It takes a very skilled person to distill the essence of the truths found in Romans to any level of discourse, including that of the ordinary churchgoer. But Keith Stanglin has that gift of clarifying without oversimplifying, and reading through Romans with Keith's help is both enlightening and encouraging. . . . This guide for the perplexed should be in the hands of anyone who would like to finally crack the code that is Romans. --Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary
