Romans, which requires a legal commentary
Giving coordinates of faith to those who have lost their way!

Romans is a book that requires commentary from a legal scholar.
Because it is a writing in which Paul argues in profound language how a human being who could not escape conviction in God's court was acquitted through Jesus Christ.
Judge Chun Jong-ho, who in his previous work presented in-depth philosophical, ethical, and theological reflections on the Kingdom of God, the common good, law, and justice, has now taken up the Book of Romans.
Among Paul's epistles, the Epistle to the Romans, called the "truly pure gospel," is explained in an easy-to-understand, lively dialogue.
As a scholar and judge devoted to law, similar to Paul, a legal scholar and theologian, the author correctly interprets and conveys Paul's explanations of sin, law, and grace.


The Epistle to the Romans, delivered through a dialogue between Paul, Tertius, and Timothy, is simple and clear.
The author hopes that the young people of this era will also experience the Book of Romans, which had a great influence on Christian leaders and theologians such as Augustine, Luther, and Calvin.
To make the book of Romans easier to understand, the author explained the entire book of Romans in a conversational format, taking advantage of the fact that at the time, Paul dictated the content and Tertius wrote it down.
By having Tertius and Timothy ask for the meaning of each verse and Paul answering them, he created a vivid conversation as if they were hearing teachings directly from the living Paul.
Readers will become Tertius and Timothy and read Romans with Paul, gaining a deeper understanding of its essence and the gospel.
This will be a helpful guide for new believers and young people who want to read Romans but find the language of the gospel difficult, as well as for pastors who are concerned about how to convey Romans in an easy-to-understand way.


The author has strived to provide a detailed and nuanced commentary that rivals that of a full-text book on Romans.
I wrote a verse from Romans on a large piece of paper, analyzed the meaning of the words and the structure of the sentences underneath, organized the content, and only at the end of that process did I start writing.
I consulted various commentaries and monographs to find the interpretation that best fit the overall context of Romans, and sometimes went through all my books to understand a single passage.
The process of Judge Cheon Jong-ho questioning Deuteronomy and Timothy and exploring Paul's intentions and thoughts in each verse is fully captured in the dialogue in the book.
As a scholar who has studied law for over 30 years, I have included an in-depth commentary comparable to a commentary.
This one book will provide even those new to Romans with the insight to easily understand the entire book.
