Chasing Truth

About the Book

The manuscript that follows is a line-by-line discussion of the first eight chapters of Paul’s letter to the Romans. The goal is to keep the discussion in line with the verses and to expand on words or phrases where appropriate. As I have studied the letter over the past twenty-five years, I have sought to understand the words from the perspective of those who were at Rome at the time of Paul’s ministry. Their access to supplementary material was surely limited. But there were Jewish believers in Rome who could provide background material for the truths Paul sought to teach. This small work is not intended as an exhaustive commentary of Paul’s monumental masterpiece. Romans is viewed by many scholars as the foundation and truth source for the study of the scripture.

About the Author

About the Author I am profoundly honored that you would spend some time with me studying Paul’s letter. A special word of thankfulness is extended to my daughter, Shannon, as she provided a quiet haven in her home where I could finalize the manuscript. Her loving support helped me complete the text. Bette, my wife and lifelong companion, has provided invaluable assistance as a proofreader and general critic of the manuscript. Without her dedicated support, the book would still be unfinished. She and I have chased the truth together since we were first introduced to the Lord more than thirty years ago.
