Letter to the Romans, a Small Group Bible Study Guide Ted Lafemina 1. izdevums

Through this small group study, Paul's letter to the Romans, with all its richness and complexity, is made accessible to both devout followers, as well as people new, or simply interested in the faith. The study provides a comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural background of the early Roman Empire that sheds light on the metaphors and language used by Paul. Through insightful questions, the participants will be challenged to not only understand for themselves, the meaning and process of salvation recorded by the Holy Spirit through Paul, but to understand what it means to them. Like the original hearers of the word, Paul's message raises questions that demand a serious self-evaluation of the heart. This guide is transforms the questions and issues raised into engaging discussions within a small group setting. Participants will also come to realize, through this study, that Paul's letter to the Romans doesn't stand alone, but is one part of a larger, consistent, story of God's love and plans for us that He has woven throughout the Bible.
