In this layman's commentary on the Book of Romans, Dr. Gutzke guides the reader through Paul's presentation of the gospel and of a number of great Christian doctrines. He probes the mind of Paul, who describes the need to accept the gift of salvation as freely offered in Christ, made effectual in the believer and resulting in the serving of others and glorifying God. Dr. Gutzke deals with some of the key issues in Romans such as faith vs. works, sin in the believer's life, and the relationship of Christians with each other. This pivotal epistle is applied to life today through Dr. Gutzke's verse-by-verse exposition in Plain Talk on Romans. - Back cover.
