As you know, we’ve been working through the book of Romans as a church family. The book is designed as an unfolding of the Gospel in all its glory. A simple outline of the book is below.
I. Introduction - 1:1-1:17 II. Sin - 1:18-3:20 III. Justification - 3:21-5:21 IV. Sanctification - 6:1-8:39 V. What about Israel? - 9:1-11:36 VI. Application - 12:1-15:33 VII. Greetings and Conclusion - 16:1-27
The book effectively explains the beauties of the Gospel, and the implications that arise from the application of the Gospel to daily life.
Helpful Commentaries There are a TON of resources and commentaries on the book of Romans. Many of them are extremely helpful. The list I’ll present here is by no means exhaustive, and so if your favorite writer isn’t represented, don’t take it personally.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Romans Lloyd Jones’ sermons are preserved in a large set offered by Banner of Truth Trust. The books are incredible, honestly! They are not particularly technical in the original languages, so they are very accessible.
