summary of the Christian faith and the Christian life. Stretching from the depths of human depravity to the heights of divine mercy, this theologically rich letter reveals how the righteousness of Christ transforms slaves of sin into adopted children of God. Yet we shouldn't read Romans merely as a textbook of Christian doctrine. Knowing the pastoral concerns behind Paul's letter can help us see more clearly how God's grace shapes our whole lives. In this teaching series, Dr. W. Robert Godfrey takes us verse by verse through Romans and emboldens Christians to declare with the Apostle, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."
