64 Reasoning Through Romans

This sermon examines the book of Romans as the first systematic theology, organizing its content into distinct doctrinal sections: hamartiology (sin), soteriology (justification and sanctification), and Israelology. The speaker contrasts Paul's exegesis with Roman Catholic, Calvinist, and Arminian views, arguing that none fully align with the biblical text. Specifically, it asserts that humans are born in sin but not totally unable to believe, that justification is a legal declaration apart from works, and that sanctification is a daily process of reckoning and presenting oneself to God rather than a condition for salvation. The presentation emphasizes the necessity of literal hermeneutics and authorial intent to avoid theological error, urging believers to rely on the Scripture's clear teaching over human systems.
