Why Romans Should Be Required Reading for Christians Today
Because there is no book that changes people as much as the Book of Romans, and those changed people then change the world.
It is a well-known fact that Saint Augustine, Martin Luther, John Calvin, and John Stott experienced spiritual revival through the words of the Epistle to the Romans.
But sometimes I wonder what it was about Romans that changed them.
If you are curious and confused about what the book of Romans is about and what the gospel means to us living in this day and age, read Romans with Tim Keller.


The gospel is not just words, but the power of God to save people.
If we fully and accurately understand the words of Romans, we confess that the gospel is not just a collection of words, but is truly the power of God that saves lives and souls.
You have not tasted the glory of the gospel without experiencing the history of your entire soul falling down before God.

Tim Keller points out that we cannot enjoy the true freedom and joy of the gospel because we try to overcome sin and become righteous through our own human will, zeal, church standards and doctrines, or moral living.
In this book, Tim Keller points out the problems with all attempts at self-righteousness and offers a detailed, insightful solution from the gospel.


Understanding the gospel is the way to welcome God's power into our lives.
Tim Keller reaffirms that everyone needs the gospel.
And understanding the gospel reminds us that it is the way to welcome God's power into our lives.
It makes us realize the blessing of those who have accepted that he is justified by faith in him, not by any other works, and the glory of the gospel.


A great guide for those who teach personal meditation and Bible study!
This book is filled with questions for personal reflection, to help Bible study leaders understand Romans, and to facilitate small group Bible study.
This book will completely capture your heart with the book of Romans.

This book helps us realize that faith means putting aside any zeal or effort and receiving the righteousness accomplished by Christ with a completely empty heart and empty hands.
Kim Geon-woo, translator

This is not a gospel 'again' directed at us who are struggling to rebuild the collapsing church by returning to pure faith under the slogan 'Back to the Gospel', but a painful invitation to 'always' return to the Gospel, and a summons to repentance for us who have distorted the Gospel.

Kim Byeong-nyeon, senior pastor of Dadrim Church

Whenever the Book of Romans encounters pressing questions of the times, it has greatly shaken the direction and content of Christian faith.

Many readers are deeply drawn to the letter called Romans, but still shake their heads at its difficulty.
This book was written to make Romans accessible to the general reader without detracting from its message.
The length and discussion questions of each chapter are designed to be suitable for small groups. RA Jameson

Rather than breaking down the text into small pieces and interpreting it like a typical strong text, it allows you to deeply understand the big picture and content of Romans and apply it to real life.
Jeff Randleman

The Book of Romans is often called 'a book that changes the world by changing those who read it.'
This book, with its non-academic approach, opens the eyes of not only pastors but also ordinary believers to the treasures of Romans, Paul's most theological letter.

〈Romans 1-7 for You〉 is, in a word, a strong book for the laity.
As a book aimed at those without advanced knowledge of the original language of the Bible, it is written at a level that even the average person can understand, while maintaining academic depth.
If you've ever wondered what the book of Romans is all about and what it means for your life as a Christian, this book is for you.

Boling

It was concise and precise, but avoided being overly wordy.
It gives an easy-to-understand big picture and then gets straight to the point.
This is another book worth looking forward to that showcases his unique ability to make the 'complicated' into the 'simple'.

Tim Keller is a natural language genius.
Convey your message accurately and clearly on a given topic or Bible passage in just a few sentences.
Written in a more contemplative style than a lecture format, this book fully demonstrates the author's strengths and will likely remain a must-have commentary on Romans for all Christians.
Kicker

Although the text seems easy to read, following a well-organized flow, the meditation questions force me to pause and reflect deeply on my own journey of faith.
These questions allow me to feel the work of the Holy Spirit digging into and transforming the spiritual issues that reside in the heart of my soul.
Sharra

This is a book that allows us, not lofty theologians, to read the Book of Romans as we sit in our pews on Sundays.
This is the value and strength of this book.
Kevin Thompson

Romans is a book that can be very controversial depending on its interpretation.
Rather than leaving room for controversy with overly detailed commentary, Keller stayed within the Christian tradition and served as a faithful commentary on the Bible.
I liked that I didn't feel uncomfortable reading the book, even though I'm a Baptist and Keller is a Presbyterian.
A. Wencl

The author's study of 'Law and Grace' in Romans 6 arguably provides the most balanced perspective on the subject.
He skillfully walks the line between legalism and antinomianism, clearly conveying what the Bible says about law and grace.
