Romans: God's Good News for the World (The Bible Speaks Today)

Romans: God's Good News for the World (The Bible Speaks Today) by Stott, John R. W.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780830816927.

John Stott joins a chorus of distinguished voices of the church who have pondered and lived the great themes of Romans, and who have tuned our ears to hear its rich harmonies and meditate on its broad vision. In the classic tradition of great Christian leaders who have commented on Romans, Stott expounds Pauls words, themes and arguments. The power of the gospel, the righteousness of God revealed from heaven, is clearly addressed to todays men and women who have answered its summons. Not only is Stott deeply acquainted with the text and context of Romans, he is also conversant with the most recent Pauline scholarship. But more important, he views Romans from his own pastoral and missionary perspective, an outlook shaped in turn by the great vision of the apostle. Here is a commentary for those who live on the edge of the third millennium, a commentary spanning the two worlds of Romans - Pauls and ours.
