I am beginning a study of the New Testament book of Romans on this blog. You are invited to join this study by reading, studying on your own, and commenting when you have a comment or a question. I will be responding regularly to any comments.
This letter of the Apostle Paul to the Romans is the longest of Paul's letters that has survived. This relatively long letter was Paul's way of introducing the message he was preaching to a group of Christians who had never met Paul. He pays a lot of attention to the relationship between the truth of God revealed in Christ and the truth of God revealed in the holy Law. He also speaks very strongly about the relationship between Gentiles (non-Jews) and Jews in the working out of God's will to redeem humanity. This focus on the law and the spirit (way of Christ), and the Jews and the gentiles, causes me to think that Paul is addressing a group of Christian believers who are both Jewish and Gentile in heritage. More on that later.
So, if you would begin reading the 1st Chapter of Romans, I will be commenting on it throughout this week.
