A Forty-Day Study of Paul's Letter to the Romans: What is a Christian?

In the introduction to his commentary on Romans, Martin Luther wrote, "This Epistle is really the chief part of the New Testament and the very purest Gospel and is worthy not only that every Christian should know it word for word, by heart, but occupy himself with it every day, as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be read or pondered too much, and the more it is dealt with the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes" (Martin Luther, Commentary on Romans, xiii).

Luther was right. Paul's letter to the Romans should be the Christian's daily bread for the soul. This book goes through Romans verse by verse-helping us to understand what Christianity is. The focus is on the difference between religion-humanity reaching for God-and Christianity-God reaching for humanity.
