Invitation to Romans

by Eisenbaum, Pam

Description: Invitation to Romans by Pamela Eisenbaum, associate professor of Biblical studies and Christian origins, offers a nine week, in-depth, high commitment Bible study on the Book of Romans. The fourth in the series, it follows surveys of the New and Old Testaments and a study of the book of Genesis.

The challenge of reading Romans, then, is to learn to have our own interpretive conversation with the text itself, in spite of centuries of commentary on the text. One of the aims of this study is to invite us into conversation around several key themes: (1) Paul’s emphasis on communal salvation; (2) the centrality of God’s righteousness; and (3) the relationship between Jews and Gentiles and the relationship of both to God.
