The Message of Romans: God’s Good News to the World

When Paul first wrote his letter to the house churches of Rome, his purpose was to gain prayerful support for his future mission in the western Mediterranean. Little did he know that for two millennia this finely tuned exposition of the gospel would echo through church and academy, marketplace and home, around the world. In this revised volume Bible Speaks Today, John Stott clearly explains Paul’s words, themes, and arguments in Romans and offers applications for today’s readers. It explores the letter’s rich harmonies and expansive vision, highlighting the power of the gospel. Deeply familiar with the text and context of Roman and Pauline studies, Stott also looks at Romans from his own pastoral and missionary perspective. This revised edition of a classic Bible Speaks Today volume features lightly updated language, current NIV Scripture citations, and a new interior design. A study guide at the end of the book will help you ponder more deeply the message of Romans and how it speaks to your life.
