Righteousness & The Problem of Sin

Overview

Like all of Paul’s writings, his letter to the Romans is rich with theological concepts but incorporates practical information as well. This letter has served as a source of inspiration and transformation for Christians in every generation. One of the most famous Christians of the fourth century, Augustine, became a believer after reading Romans. In the 16th century, it was Romans that inspired Martin Luther to fully develop the principle of justification by faith. And, in the early 19th century, the poet and theologian, Samuel Taylor Coleridge called Romans, “The most profound piece of writing in existence.”
