Romans: A Devotional Commentary

With accessible expository commentary paired with inspirational devotional thought, The See Series speaks to both the heart and mind-unlocking a deeper understanding of the Bible often reserved for scholars and theologians.The letter of Romans is not just a general statement of Christian beliefs. It's a personal letter to believers struggling with real issues and still learning the implications of believing in the God of Israel. Throughout this letter, vital truths emerge, including humanity's universal predicament, the nature of the message of salvation by grace through faith, the relationship between faith and works, the death of our old life and the gift of new life through the resurrection of Christ, how this all fits in God's overall plans, and what it all means for daily life. Read this letter for the depth and details, but never lose sight of the breadth of the vision it presents.Written by beloved devotional writer and biblical scholar Chris Tiegreen, each book of The See Series does more than encourage us simply to know and then do; rather, casts a vision for us to see, then be, then live. Like Jesus, who incorporated visual language into all his teaching, this series aims at refocusing our inner eye. If we can see what biblical writers saw and live according to that vision, we can be transformed.A valuable resource packed with insight, each commentary includes:an introduction to the biblical book to aid your studyan introduction for each subsection of the book, explaining its place and purpose in the text, the historical context or background of that section, and how it fits into the big-picture vision of biblical trutha series of devotionals on the text that further explain purpose and meaning, offer suggestions for practical application, and inspire and challenge you to re-envision-to learn to see in new waysa discussion guide in the back to help you further reflect on the Scripture passages and/or talk about them with others to expand your spiritual vision even moreRomans: A Devotional Commentary guides you through this New Testament epistle from the apostle Paul, bringing transformation for your mind, heart, and imagination.
