study levelsABOUT THE SUBJECT
Why don't Christians follow the full Mosaic law? What sets Christianity apart from Judaism?
Paul wrestles with these questions head-on in Romans and Galatians and the answers shape the heart of his theology. These two letters sit at the centre of Christian conviction: justification by faith, the place of the law, the nature of the gospel, and what it means to belong to God’s people.
This intensive walks through both letters in a single condensed study, engaging their rhetoric, content, and theology, and connecting Paul’s thinking to the contemporary church. You’ll engage with the “New Perspective” on Paul, the socio-historical world of Rome and Galatia, and how Paul’s thought informs pastoral ministry today.
ROME · c. 56 AD
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes."
Romans 1:16 – the thesis of Paul’s longest letter, written from Corinth to a church he’d never met.
