The Story of Romans: Embracing a Righteous God

It is difficult to overstate the importance of Paul’s letter to the Romans to the Christian Church. Though acknowledged to be Paul’s greatest and most influential letter, it is also his most challenging. The truth is that Romans often goes unread, other than in small bits and pieces. In this class, we’ll come to see that the letter tells a story, indeed many stories, as Paul defends the righteousness of God. Join us as we learn what it really means “to be transformed by the renewing of our minds” and embrace our faithful and just God.
