In this inspiring collection of fifty- one sermons on Romans collected from over thirty years of preaching, Fleming Rutledge creates a contemporary homiletical presentation of the radical gospel of Paul.
With her stirring words and joyful delving into Roman passages, Rutledge leads readers to refocus their eyes and ears on Paul's valuable words. She examines major ideas and motifs in the epistle--- for example: the Cross and Resurrection of Christ is the first event of the Age to come and the fulfillment of the promises of God to Abraham; faith is the human response ignited by the fire of the Word and Holy Spirit; Christ died for the ungodly, not the godly, which means salvation therefore includes all humanity and will extend beyond what we can now imagine.
Created with two groups of people in mind----preachers, teachers, and other church professionals on the one hand and, on the other hand. lay readers seeking deeper knowledge----Not ashamed of the Gospel will be at once a help to preachers and encouragement for listeners.
