Romans: At His Feet Studies

by Hope A. Blanton, Christine Gordon

As followers of Jesus, we need a firm foundation and a solid collection of truths about both ourselves and our God to help us survive and thrive in this sin-warped world. In his letter to the Romans, Paul identifies our biggest a lack of righteousness. All humans fail to live up to God's image in which we were made. As a result, we find ourselves in the predicament of being separated from—in fact, at war with—a holy God. We need to understand that we can't escape this situation through our own efforts but that, instead, God worked through Jesus to make peace with us. What's more, he now gives us access to himself. The promises that we have in Christ, the history that we share with his people going back thousands of years, and his call to us as disciples now—all of these things are made clear in the powerful Book of Romans.

I didn't like this as much as some of their other Bible studies. I like the format and the open ended questions which is the same across all their books. Several chapters in this one were very Calvanistic and they put a lot of emphasis on baptism almost as a part of salvation. Since the author's are Presbyterian I knew there would be some doctrinal difference but this was the first book where it felt a little more blatant. I still feel like I learned and got more of a feel for the culture and Paul's heart for the Roman church.

Most women’s bible studies are written under the assumption that all females are highly emotional, are primarily working towards having 2.5 children, and just need time to have a glass of wine “with the gals.”
This study makes no such assumptions.

Also, they often change “son”s and “him”s to “daughter”s and “her”s in the scripture quotes, commentaries and questions. Why didn’t we think of that before?

Quite possibly the best study guide I’ve ever used and a great comprehensive view of Romans.
