The Message of Romans : God

This is the most personally rooted of John's Stott's expositions, for he confess to have re-encountered Paul's letter constantly throughout his Christian life. At the same time, he interacts with other commentators, some of whom are challenging interpretations that are time-honoured and traditional. He sees Romans as a Christian manifesto for our increasingly unstable world, emphasizing the good news of freedom through Jesus Christ. Paul's vision of this freedom is astonishing. It overcomes ethnic conflict, the darkness of moral guilts, condemnation from God and alienation from others. It is a freedom to serve God and our neighbours in love.
