The Epistle to the Romans is Paul’s most comprehensive exposition of the gospel. Yet Romans is not merely a theological treatise on personal salvation; it is a redemptive-historical proclamation of God’s worldwide saving purpose in Jesus Christ. Written in the context of Jewish-Gentile tension and missionary expansion, Romans unfolds the righteousness of God revealed in Christ, the inclusion of the nations, the eschatological identity of the people of God, and the transformed life that flows from grace.

Taught by Dr. Jim Cassidy, this course presents Romans as God’s worldwide outreach—the gospel of God advancing through history, gathering a people for himself from Jews and Gentiles alike, grounding assurance, shaping Christian obedience, and propelling the church in the Great Commission. Drawing from Reformed confessional theology and biblical theology, the course emphasizes Christ-centered interpretation, covenantal unity, and pastoral application.

Students will be led through Romans chapter by chapter in sixteen lessons, attending carefully to Paul’s argument, historical context, and theological depth, while also seeing how Romans continues to shape the church’s doctrine, worship, ethics, and mission today.
