Religion binds us. Grace and faith set us free. In large part, this is the message of the letter to the Romans. Considered by many to be Paul's greatest written work, Romans shows us the power of sin, the failure of normal religion to deal with it, and the absolute victory we can have over it through faith in the blood that was shed on the cross. In this book, Gordon Ferguson delves into what he believes just may be the most important book in Scripture. Gordon willl help you to understand the message of this great epistle as never before-and this understanding can set your heart free. What is more, once you get Romans, God gets you.
This book was not as technical as I expected, more of a devotional book. However, there is a lot of good content and it looks at passages in light of the theme of the entire chapter and entire book of Romans. I don't fully understand Romans, but this book was understandable, and it made good sense of the entire sequence of Romans. It gave a good perspective on the big picture, how each chapter is developed and how it fits into the whole letter. There were some specific things I learned that I didn't understand before reading this book. Generally a solid book, wouldn't be particularly helpful for the especially knowledgeable people, but great for new Christians or anyone who hasn't studied out Romans (like me).
This is one of my favorite books; I read it at least every couple of years. Ferguson has the ability to approach a subject with logic AND heart. This book truly sets your heart free. I highly recommend.
