The Wrath of God Revealed

The "Romans: Gospel and Empire" series provides a comprehensive theological and historical examination of the Book of Romans, authored by the Apostle Paul. The series frames Romans as the "interpretive key to the entire Bible," moving from the historical narratives of the Old Testament (Genesis) to the prescriptive doctrine of the New Testament epistles.

The core thesis of the study is centered on Romans 1:16-17: the gospel as the dunamis (power) of God for salvation. The analysis transitions from the identity and authority of Paul to the "bad news" of divine wrath, establishing a logical case for the necessity of the gospel. Key themes include the shift in literary genre, the qualifications of Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the psychological impact of grace and peace, and the judicial consequences of suppressing the truth.
