| The Book of Romans | Steve Lucas | Room 2107 |
| The Book of Romans is the greatest of the great books describing our redemption. In his preface to the 1552 addition of his commentary on Romans, Martin Luther states: “This Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.” |
