Romans

Romans is

“neither a systematic theology nor a summary of Paul’s lifework, but it is by common consent his masterpiece. It dwarfs most of his other writings, an Alpine peak towering over hills and villages. Not all onlookers have viewed it in the same light or from the same angle, and their snapshots and paintings of it are sometimes remarkably unalike. Not all climbers have taken the same route up its sheer sides, and there is frequent disagreement on the best approach. What nobody doubts is that we are here dealing with a work of massive substance, presenting a formidable intellectual challenge while offering a breathtaking theological and spiritual vision”

says N.T. Wright.
Well, Elizabeth and I have decided to try to climb up Paul’s masterpiece. We’ll see how it goes. I’m going to post here about our progress, but December is Romans month in our lives.
Feel free to join in and see how you like it.
Romans 1 is due on Monday, December 3. Stay tuned.
