Paul's epistle to the Romans has been influential at critical moments in church history: The conversion of Augustine in the early church; Influencing Martin Luther and John Calvin during the Protestant Reformation; Changing the lives of George Whitfield and John Wesley in the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century. But it is not only those who have become leaders in the church who have been affected by the book of Romans; ordinary Christians have lived transformed lives as a result - up to the present day. One reason is because in Romans, Paul clearly sets out a theological framework for us to understand the Christian faith. It is a comprehensive description of the way that God offers salvation to humankind - and it is 'Good News'.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
It was no accident that the Reformers, Luther and Calvin, each wrote the first two of their many Bible commentaries on Romans and the Psalms. The Church today evidences its great need of massive doses of the truths of Romans. R. C. Sproul and Christian Focus have done us a great favour in making the content of Romans more available to a wider audience. You will find this book a great tonic for your soul. -- David Cook (Founder, Expository Preaching Trust, Australia) "Sproul has given the reader an excellent, easy to read, six-page summary of the epistle that whets the appetite to read on... This book reflects Sproul's gift of making the Bible easier to understand for laymen and teachers." -- Equip for Ministry "I don't know of another single resource on Paul's epistle to the Romans that is more useful for pastors or for general audiences. I used The Gospel Of God extensively when preparing for my year-long sermon series on Romans. Own it. Read it. Return to it often." -- Daniel Montgomery RC Sproul has the rare gift of making Biblical truth clear, understandable and relevant. In this systematic exposition of Romans, where the apostle Paul sets out a theological framework for us to understand the Christian faith, Sproul explains Paul's concepts with a clarity and simplicity which leaves the reader eager to study more. Throughout the text, there are helpful illustrations and comments to enable the reader to apply the teaching to today's culture and context. Clearly presented and readable, this is an excellent tool to stimulate the mind and heart of every student of God's Word. -- CLC Book Reviews
