Each lesson in this study is designed to take
sixty to ninety minutes to complete on your
own. The guide is based on the rhythm of
one lesson per week, but the lessons are
adaptable to meet the pace of any group.
In the prologue to the 1534 edition of his English New Testament, William
Tyndale calls the letter to the Romans “the principal and most excellent part
of the New Testament” and “an introduction unto all the Old Testament.”1
Why? First, because the letter is the most thorough statement of the gospel
that God has given us, and second, because it draws together the whole intent
of the Old Testament to explain that gospel.
Tyndale goes on to say, “No man verily can read it too oft or study it
too well: for the more it is studied the easier it is, the more it is chewed the
pleasanter it is, and the more groundly it is searched the preciouser things
are found in it, so great treasure of spiritual things lieth hid therein.” How did
such a treasure come to be?
