Epistle to the Romans

The Epistle to the Romans is considered the most important letter in the New Testament. It taught the reformer Martin Luther the decisive insight of grace and faith. This series of interpretations by the German Protestant theologian Lothar Gassmann was given exactly 500 years after Martin Luther's posting of his theses, in the Reformation year 2017. His 24 lectures, with a timely, up-to-date, and easy-to-understand verse-by-verse interpretation of the Epistle to the Romans, are summarized here in a comprehensive book.

For four decades, Dr. Lothar Gassmann has interpreted and explained entire books of the Bible or parts thereof in his sermons. The result of this rich work is presented in this series of commentaries, with a total of 32 volumes planned (12 on the Old Testament, 20 on the New Testament).
This series is characterized by three features:

• It takes God's Word as seriously as it is written and avoids any form of biblical criticism.
• It builds a bridge from the Bible to the present day and conveys numerous practical pieces of advice for our lives based on God's Word.
• Because it is based on freely delivered sermons, it is easy for every reader to understand.
