Applying the Gospel in the Book of Romans - Paperback

by Charles Tarrell (Author)

The last five chapters of Romans are not optional. They are essential.

You have studied the theology of Romans 1 through 11. You have wrestled with justification, sanctification, and the sovereignty of God. But have you fully explored where Paul takes his readers next? Too often, pastors, teachers, and Bible study leaders treat Romans 12 through 16 as an afterthought, skipping past the very chapters that show believers how to live out the gospel in real, practical terms. If the great doctrines of Romans feel disconnected from daily Christian life, something vital has been missed.

In Applying the Gospel in the Book of Romans, Charles Tarrell picks up where his earlier volume, Testing the Gospel in the Book of Romans, left off. This careful, chapter by chapter study walks readers through Paul's teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, authentic Christian attitudes, the believer's relationship to secular government, the call to love, handling disputable matters in the church, and the surprisingly rich content of Romans 16, a chapter too often ignored. Tarrell brings unique perspectives on controversial topics such as spiritual gifts and Christian civil disobedience, offering fresh insight for seasoned students of Scripture.

Inside you will discover:

- Why Romans 12 through 16 are just as inspired and necessary as the theological chapters that precede them

- Practical guidance on worship, community, government, and conscience drawn directly from Paul's letter

- Fresh perspectives on neglected passages, including the overlooked significance of Romans 16

Written for pastors, professors, seminarians, and serious Bible students, this is the companion volume that completes the journey through Paul's greatest letter.
