Exploring Romans: A Devotional Commentary by George R. KnightMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Christian community in Roman was having issues in the mid-1st century that wasn’t unique to itself like other early churches who were written epistles in the New Testament, what the Romans received was Paul’s perfected sermon on salvation. Exploring Romans: A Devotional Commentary by George R. Knight explains how this Epistle is the clearest explanation of the salvation for Christian throughout the millennia especially during the Reformation.
Knight guides the reader through Romans in 62 segments using various translations to find the most accurate wording for the passage covered in each segment. Each lesson has Knight not only explain the passage within the context of the Romans but also in the whole Bible but also provide commentary about what the passage means to use today. Throughout the book Knight stresses the central theme of Paul’s message, the obtaining of salvation as well all the branching teachings on who needs it and why, the role of the law, and how to implement Christianity into life. Given the issues that Paul addresses two millennia ago are still around in some form or another today within the larger Christianity community, Knight makes sure the reader understands Paul response to these issues and why they are important even today.
Exploring Romans is an excellent commentary and devotional authored by George R. Knight that gives readers an in-depth understanding of Paul’s message on the plan of salvation.
