The middle section of Romans is a masterful treatise on the hope God gives us in the broken, fallen world we live in. Why is the world so broken, and how does God expect us to persevere in it?

Paul’s letter to the Romans is the most “technical” of the epistles, in a sense. In it, Paul lays out a very detailed argument about righteousness, salvation, and faith that is just as applicable today as it ever was.

Romans is one of the more technical letters of the New Testament, almost a scholarly treatise on the nature of righteousness, salvation, and faith. But, it’s also framed in the form of a conversation. Paul anticipates and answers questions and objections that the reader will inevitably make to his core arguments. Keeping the “conversation” of Romans in mind can help us appreciate its message better.
