Romans: Experiencing Peace Together in a Chaotic World

Discover redemptive peace in the book of Romans.

"Scot McKnight is one of my absolute favorite New Testament scholars and his Everyday Bible Study series is akin to Einstein creating a user-friendly version of the Theory of Relativity!"--Lisa Harper, award-winning author and Bible teacher

The church in Rome was split into differing groups and in their zeal to advocate for their viewpoints had gone over the line of gospel mission to controlling ambition.

In trying to unify a congregation he'd never met, the Apostle Paul starts the first half of his letter reminding the believers of their redemption in Jesus, anticipating the unity for their life together. Paul ends with a call for peace; a redemptive peace that speaks to how to live in relation to our state, our work, our church, and our households.

Romans is the most influential document in the New Testament for the formation of what Christians believe today. But it also has importance for how to live that belief in our chaotic world.

Ideal for personal reflection or group study, Scot McKnight explores the links between the Bible's world and ours, presenting the enduring relevance of the letter to the Romans for us today.
