Weeks of April 11 and 18 Readings

I have included two weeks of readings in this post for fear of failing to post Holy Week.

Yesterday, we completed Acts. Today, we begin Romans.

Romans is the first of Paul's letters to appear in the New Testament. It is also the longest and perhaps the most theological. The order of Paul's letters in the New Testament is from longest, Romans at 16 chapters, to shortest, Philemon at one chapter.

James Edwards, professor of theology in Whitworth College of Spokane, WA, suggests that "Romans is the most commanding exposition of the gospel of salvation by grace through faith ever written." He adds, "Throughout two millenia of history, Romans has repeatedly proved to be a catalyst for reform and renewal of Christian faith and life."
