Introducing the background of Romans
Throughout history, the book of Romans has significantly influenced believers throughout generations. This two-session seminar series aims to facilitate attendees to examine and comprehend the message of Romans by contextualizing the letter within the first century and recognizing its relevance for us as disciples.
Given the prior exceptional sermon series on Romans at Island ECC, this two-part seminar series will not concentrate on the themes or messages of the letter (e.g., justification); instead, they aim to address the historical context of this epistle and seek to provide a historical depth to enhance comprehension of the text.
Who is it for: For those who want to learn the background of the letter to the Romans.
