Presentation
The message of the letter to the Romans
No other portion of Scripture has perhaps had a more profound influence on the history of the Christian Church than Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Because the apostle was unable to attend the local assembly in Rome, the whole Church throughout all ages has benefited by having this remarkable exposition of the gospel of God. It is therefore understandable why almost all revivals have sprung from a rediscovery of this epistle. Endless wisdom and mercy!
"You can't read or study it too often or too well," said Martin Luther. The more you dive into it, the more pleasure you get and the more you taste it. "
In these pages, the author offers everyone an introduction to this great letter. In its lively and simple style, it enters the heart of the message, without shying away from the great impactful truths that this document contains. In doing so, he exalts the infinite and sovereign mercy of God towards sinful man which is manifested in the cross of his Son. Stemming from his ministry of preaching, his exposition contains a very practical quality for the life of the Christian in the modern world.
