Gospel Of God: Romans....

The book of Romans has been influential in critical moments of church history - in the conversion of Augustine, in influencing Martin Luther and John Calvin, in changing the lives of George Whitefield and John Wesley. But it is not only those who have become leaders in the church who have been affected by the epistle to the Romans. Ordinary Christians, too, have lived transformed lives as a result. People have often turned to the letter to the Church in Rome because Paul clearly sets out a theological framework for us to understand the Christian faith. It is a comprehensive description of the way that God offers salvation to humankind - and it is `Good News'.
