The Protestant Reformation was informed by a passion for many themes central to the book of Romans: justification by faith alone, salvation by grace alone and through Christ alone. Let’s get into the text of Romans to see how Paul makes a case for these fundamental doctrines. Then we’ll head Behind the Text to understand the cultural background for slavery and judgment—two metaphors essential to Romans’ theology. We’ll wrap up this lesson with a look at the “career” of Romans in the historical church.

Just because Romans is theological doesn’t mean that the content is not also practical and personal. Remember, it was while reading this book that many religious luminaries had their first genuine encounter with the God of personal salvation.
