STUDIES IN THE BOOK OF ROMANS These studies focus on the Pauline Epistle to the Romans. We will be examining God's Word through outlines, historical perspectives, original language studies, and by Doctrinal application. No one has ever made an intensive study of this epistle and remained the same. It will change one profoundly and unalterably. After all, that's what God intended! It changed the recipients of the letter, and it has changed readers down through the centuries. James I. Packer of England writes:     "there is one book in the New Testament which links up with almost everything that the Bible contains: that is the Epistle to the Romans, . . . In Romans, Paul brings together and sets out in systematic relation all the great themes of the Bible--sin, law, judgment, faith, works, grace, justification, sanctification, election, the plan of salvation, the work of Christ, the work of the Spirit, the Christian hope, the nature and life of the Church, the place of Jew and Gentile in the purpose of God, the philosophy of the Church and of world history, the meaning and message of the Old Testament, the duties of Christian citizenship, the principles of personal piety and ethics. From the vantage-point given by Romans, the whole landscape of the Bible is open to view, and the broad relation of the parts to the whole becomes plain. The study of Romans is the fittest starting-point for biblical interpretation and theology.’ Join us on Sunday mornings from 7:30 - 8:45 A.M. in the Adult  Discipleship  Room as we study this great book verse by verse.
