📖Synopsis
A 10-Week Study for Women on the Book of Romans
Why is Romans considered the greatest letter ever written? In this New Testament epistle, the apostle Paul provides the clearest explanation of the gospel and the eternal hope for a humanity marred by sin and death. Through King Jesus, God reveals his righteousness, redeems his people from their sins, and unlocks the floodgates of his mercy.
In this 10-week Bible study for women, Lydia Brownback examines Romans verse by verse to explore how God works through his Son and in the hearts of his people. Written for individuals or groups, each lesson helps women understand important doctrines of the faith, such as justification, propitiation, and redemption, on a practical and accessible level.
💭My Thoughts
This was a very solid Bible study for the great book of Romans!
I absolutely loved how it was organized, with the lovely reading plans, graphs, lists, timelines, and many more helpful resources it contained for study. I really appreciated the exegetical overview that was both in-depth and easy to grasp.
Oftentimes I don't pay much attention to the discussion questions or reflections in a nonfiction book. I find that most of them are vague, unhelpful, and just not worth my time to answer. But in this Bible study, most of the discussion questions throughout were very thoughtful, specific, and made me ponder and relate to myself the important truths that were presented in the text that much more.
Another aspect I admired in this study is how the writer did not "dumb down" the information at all like in so many modern Christian nonfiction books nowadays. As I mentioned before, it is written in a clear, easy-to-digest way. However, it's never over-simplified to the point of being shallow. The writer touches on many vital doctrines of the faith and explores them in depth, making them come alive to the reader perhaps in a new way.
I used this as a personal Bible study, but it would work excellently for both personal and group studies. All in all, it was a really refreshing, gospel-infused, rich, practical, accessible Bible study for Romans. I enjoyed the format, organization, discussion questions and the entire book so much, and would highly recommend!
