Romans by Paul
by Rick Akins
TESTIMONIALS
“The timing of Romans by Paul could not be more provident. The focus on a certain interpretation of Paul by many who call themselves ‘reformed or Evangelical’ has made it difficult for them to even consider Catholics as fellow Christians. Romans by Paul sums up for readers this stumbling block to mutual understanding. The author is dealing with some very difficult questions about human freedom and grace but discusses them in a language that makes them accessible. Catholic readers of Romans by Paul will become better acquainted with the biblical references used to support arguments against the Church. They will become comfortable with the interpretation of those same verses that supports a more Catholic understanding of the Gospel. Reformed Christians will find permission via Romans by Paul to rediscover the wider Christian world as a much larger family of God, this is Good News. Enjoy then a bit of the Good News told from a single voice that holds the whole experience together. One that is probably not too far from your own struggle with freedom and grace.” – Reverend Dr. John Balluff, S.T.D.
