Paul’s letter to the community in Rome is his theological opus. While some pastors pick this letter apart and preach on it for 30-40 years, it’s actually a letter to be read aloud in 30-40 minutes. As a scholar, I can tell you that Paul’s use of the Greek language is nuanced and very skilled, and he has a clear message that he is striving to communicate. The question is, did Church history get it right? My conclusion is that since most of “churchianity” is still arguing over Paul’s “jot and tittle”, it likely means that we missed the bigger message.
Join me now as I prove from the Greek manuscript that Paul’s Gospel is not that of Evangelicalism’s, it’s way bigger, better, freer, fuller, living, and transformative. This is long series, but only in the sense that I have given each chapter it’s hermetical due, and I exposit it exactly as Paul did, theme by theme, with the contextualization to the modern mind.
Lay this teaching next to the best that you are aware of and compare the differences. Then go back to the original language, where Paul wrote it down, and see which has more fidelity to his letter. You will not finish this series with the same understanding of the Christian faith.
