DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For hundreds of years Christendom has been blessed with Bible commentaries written by great men of God highly respected for their godly walk and their insight into spiritual truth. The Crossway Classic Commentaries present the very best work on individual Bible books, carefully adapted for maximum understanding and usefulness for today's believers. Perhaps there is no clearer and more systematic treatise on the gospel of Jesus Christ than that found in Paul's Epistle to the Romans. Christian believers through the centuries have fed deeply on its themes of the sinfulness of man, the richness of God's mercy, the transforming power of Jesus Christ in the repentant life, the believer's participation in the Savior's death and resurrection, and the practical implications of spiritual truth for daily life. This classic commentary is a treasure for all who desire a deeper walk with God. Whether used for supplementary reading or for careful study, it will prove profitable to every follower of Christ who avails himself or herself of its gems.

In the midst of all this heartbreak, we can't lose sight of the fact that God has given us good news. We call it the gospel. It reminds us that God loves us and longs to redeem our suffering. He stepped out of eternity and into time to send us His one and only Son.

Compare what Paul writes in Romans to what theologians like Augustine, Luther and Calvin say in trying to understand Paul in their time. At the end of this study your group will have a more informed commitment to Paul's radical vision of God's relationship to both Christians and Jews and to their relationship to each other, thanks to the "love of God in Christ Jesus." The weekly video segments first present text read aloud against a backdrop of a wide variety of church settings followed by a conversation between a church historian and a church theologian about the text. The second weekly video is led by story teller, Michael Williams, who shares snapshot views of how Romans has been read through history. Ideal experience for adults who are interested in the practice of prayer and worship and would like to connect prayer practice with Scripture. The study is accessible for adults with little prior Bible experience. Participants for this Invitation to Romans do not have to have an in-depth knowledge of the Bible to enjoy and benefit from participation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Through this small group study, Paul's letter to the Romans, with all its richness and complexity, is made accessible to both devout followers, as well as people new, or simply interested in the faith. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural background of the early Roman Empire that sheds light on the metaphors and language used by Paul. Through insightful questions, the participants will be challenged to not only understand for themselves, the meaning and process of salvation recorded by the Holy Spirit through Paul, but to understand what it means to them. Like the original hearers of the word, Paul's message raises questions that demand a serious self-evaluation of the heart. This guide is transforms the questions and issues raised into engaging discussions within a small group setting. Participants will also come to realize, through this study, that Paul's letter to the Romans doesn't stand alone, but is one part of a larger, consistent, story of God's love and plans for us that He has woven throughout the Bible.
