NJB Romans

The Holy Bible is one of, if not the, most significant book ever written, believed by millions to be the divine Word of God, and responsible for so much of the shape of the moral, political and religious landscape of the modern world. It claims to speak directly and personally to all of us today. Yet recent statistics suggest less than 10% of Christians have read the entire Bible all the way through. DLT Books of the Bible are designed to reignite a passion for reading the Bible. A selection of Christian writers and leaders have each been invited to choose a book (or selection of books), and introduce it anew for a modern audience. What most excites them about this book of the Bible? What should we look for as we read it today, two thousand years (or more) since it was written? In this volume, broadcaster and writer Christina Rees introduces the Book of Romans, and offers her personal response to what she believes is a much-misunderstood book with relevance for today.
