Description

"For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith.'" Romans 1:17

Romans is called the 'Magna Carta of the Gospel.' However, to many Christians, Romans still feels like a difficult and complicated theology textbook. This book breaks down exactly that barrier.

The author expounds on Romans chapters 1 through 9 from the single consistent perspective of 'the gospel of the water and the Spirit,' that is, the baptism and the Cross of Jesus Christ. Just as the high priest transferred the sins of the people onto the offering through the laying on of hands in the Old Testament atonement sacrifices, Jesus had all the sins of the world transferred onto His body by receiving baptism from John, and saved those who believe by fully bearing the punishment of those sins on the Cross. When reading the words of the Bible through the lens of this gospel of the water and the Spirit, one finally comes to realize how sophisticated Paul's argument is.

This book leads the reader to wrestle with the Bible themselves through a 'Q&A' (asking and answering) method. While finding the answers from the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit through key texts and questions in each chapter, it can be utilized not only for personal meditation but also as material for small group Bible studies and discipleship training.
