This unit provides an overview of the theology of Paul’s letters as a prelude to the study of one of the most profound writings of the New Testament: his epistle to the Romans. Students will engage with both old and new perspectives on Paul’s thought, the debate over the purpose of the letter, and grapple with the difficult exegetical questions that frequently arise in the study of Romans. The focus is on the first eight chapters, which have much to say about our understanding of God, sin, justification, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of resurrection.
