Romans
The
Greatest Letter Ever Written
| N.T. (Tom) Wright is Bishop of Durham.
He is considered by many to be the leading Jesus scholar in the
United Kingdom, and is also a world authority on the apostle
Paul. In this series, Wright leads a discussion of Pauls
life, letters and theology and his legacy for today. |
Pauls
Letter to the Romans
Pauls letter to the Romans stands like Shakespeares
Hamlet or Beethovens Fifth Symphony: the master-work of
a master craftsmen. In this letter, Paul creates a tradition
of Christian thought where none had existed before. |
Romans 9-11:
Gods Faithfulness to Israel
Gods promises to Abraham
have been fulfilled in Christ--not for ethnic Israel, but for
all people--which is being accomplished through the ongoing work
of the Holy Spirit. |
Romans 1-4:
Gods Justice Revealed in Christ
Paul believed that Gods purpose is to bring order and celebration
to all of creation, which has been distorted because humankind,
like Adam and Eve, worships the creature rather than the creator. |
Romans 12-16:
Gods People in Gods World
Paul tells his readers how to live as Christians in pagan Rome:
by presenting themselves as visible, living witnesses to God.
He ends the letter with greetings to his many friends in Rome. |
Romans 5-8:
Gods New Exodus in Christ
Gods action in Christ is the new exodus. Through Adams
disobedience, sin came into the world; through Christs
obedient faithfulness to Gods saving plan, the effect of
Adams disobedience has been reversed. |
Romans Then
and Now
The main theme of Romans
is Gods plan to redeem the world, which was accomplished
in and through Jesus death and resurrection. The gospel--the
good news--has the power to bring people to faith, and so to
justification, and to challenge the principalities and powers
of the world. | Six video lessons with 10 discussion guides
