description: Paul's letter to the Romans played a crucial role in shaping the faith of the first Christians. It presents some of the most thorough explanations of Christian theology and laid the cornerstone for the creeds and confessions of the church. From the fallen state of humankind to the limitless gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, the dual themes of God's righteousness and faithfulness strike an awe-inspiring harmony throughout the entire book. Scholar James D. G. Dunn leads readers through the New Testament's definitive theological statement--and on a life-changing journey to the heart of the New Testament's message. The Daily Bible CommentaryA mere reading of the Bible fails to fulfill its ultimate purpose. The Bible's message is meant to transform. The Daily Bible Commentary series distills the best of current scholarship into the straightforward language of a devotional. It skillfully opens each New Testament book and helps readers respond to the eternal truths within. General editors Richard A. Burridge, Dom Henry Wansbrough, and David Winter, together with other renowned scholars from an array of Christian traditions, provide helpful introduction, accessible explanation, and fresh meditations on individual passages. Balancing profound reflection with penetrating insight, the two-page daily readings engage the mind while never failing to touch the heart.
