Klappentext

In this series of twenty-four beautifully crafted sermons, first delivered to the congregation of Boston's historic Park Street Church in 1942, Harold John Ockenga systematically works his way through Paul's letter to the Romans--explaining its key theological teachings, wrestling with some of its most difficult passages and applying those teachings to the daily lives of his parishioners. With the skill of an artist, Ockenga challenges each of us to conform our lives and our thinking to the truth of God's Word and with the insights of a spiritual physician, he points the way to God's amazing mercy and grace. For those who yearn to grow in their understanding and experience of the Christian faith, this is the book for you.
