Tim Keller is a fantastic scholar, preacher and author. Love his exegetical approach to Scripture and found his teaching on Romans very helpful.
An excellent study of some very vital but complex scriptures. I thouroughly recommend this book.
So clear and accessible. Couldn’t put it down!
Excellent study on Romans, really helped me understand the importance of the gospel. Very well written and easy to understand complex issues of scripture.
We're using this in our home group and it's very helpful in understanding Romans. It provides a good background, easy to understand comments, and excellent discussion questions. We're also using it with the "Good Book Guide to Romans", also by Timothy Keller, that serves as a companion for the more detailed "Romans for You".
Romans is really the outline of the Gospel. But it can be a little hard to access at first. Tim Keller breaks Paul's letter to the Romans down in a way that is accessible to everyone from brand new Christians to Professors of Theology. I will be recommending it to my Bible Study for this fall.
I've been a Christian a long time, but these books were completely mind blowing. Paul goes through so many basic parts of Christianity that it can be easy to forget. Tim Keller puts it in a really simple explanation, even when dealing with tricky biblical doctrines. A must read for young and old Christians!
I have always found some parts of Paul's letter difficult. Understanding the exact meaning of the text in the past has been challenging. I find these books easy to follow and a life changing explanation of the text.
Thank you Timothy (and Paul).
I have always liked Timothy Keller’s books, perhaps because I am fond of and familiar with the academic, intellectual kind of voice and style that he adopts for his writings. As opposed to some also best-selling and popular Christian authors, I find that the likes of this author appeals, and hence engages most with my thoughts and the doubts and questions I have in my heart that sometimes I couldn’t just put to words properly. So, thanks Timothy Keller, for unjumbling my thoughts and arranging them well through your writings over the years.
This book itself, as with other titles within this series, or basically almost all books published by the publisher, is meant to be easily read and an introduction to the title. Hence in the first few pages you would see that this is not meant to be an exhaustive book, but instead, meant to open up your mind on the matters at hand, and also, how Romans 8-16 might apply to your life.
Anyone could read this book, and together with more in-depth guides, use this material for teaching others. Particularly I liked the fact that they have a glossary list and well referenced bibliography for this book. Enjoy!
