The
Divided Kingdom
Course Description
In
regard to Pauls epistle to the Romans, Martin Luther wrote: This epistle is
the chief book of the New Testament, the purest gospel. It deserves not only to
be known word for word by every Christian, but to be the subject of his
meditation day by day, the daily bread of his soul. .
. a light and way into the whole Scriptures.
Our
study will begin with a consideration of the author, date, purpose and
