Paul For Everyone Romans Part 2

PAUL for EVERYONE
ROMANS PART 1

Writing in an anecdotal and approachable style, Tom Wright helps us to see the great sweep of the letter.  Romans has long been viewed as the book above all in which Paul sets out the basic doctrines of the faith and the picture of God's life for us. It is the classic summary of the gospel.

Wright identifies in particular the importance of the passages about the coming together of Jews and Gentiles, and finds new understandings in these familiar passages. God is fulfilling his ancient promises in and through Jesus, and all the people of the Messiah, whether or not of ethnically Jewish origin, are inheritors. 'When you understand Romans', say Tom Wright, 'you, too, will and to join Paul in piling up all the glory and praise and love and adoration you can muster. And you won't care how big a splash you make as you do so.'
