Study of Paul's Epistle to the Romans

Paul's Epistles (letters) form the foundation of Christian doctrine. In them is to be found everything that the modern church needs to know in order to thrive. The epistle to the church at Rome is Paul's foundational thesis, containing all of the fundamental truths of the Christian life, from God's grand indictment of man, to the "birth truths" doctrines of salvation by grace through faith, through the "growth truths" of sanctification, the natures of both the unregenerate and the re-born man, and the questions of how Christians are to live in an unregenerate world. For any Christian seeking to move beyond the "milk" of the Word, Romans is the essential starting point.

This series was taught on Wednesday nights between January 2006 and August 2008.

• These lessons were taught using a teaching method called "gestalt". This means that you may find a large amount of repetition between lessons, the theory being that repetition increases true learning and memory. Keep in mind that the original listeners were hearing lessons a week apart rather than one after the other. For those listening at home, if this repetition becomes frustrating, you may wish to skip ahead a few lessons at a time. Note that this is not to say that you won't find value in listening to every lesson, because no lesson is completely repeated - there is always something new to be heard.
• The lessons are taught using a "Question and Answer" format, so there may be long silences when congregation members were answering questions. No attempt has been made to edit out these silences.
