The book of Romans is rich in doctrinal truth. In Expository Outlines and Observations on Romans Rob Ventura mines these truths and offers quick, accessible, expository nuggets for preachers and teachers. With a thoroughly Reformed view, Ventura has taken each passage of Romans and helps pastors prepare sermons that will help congregations dig deep into this excellent book. The exegesis of the original Greek is beneficial without being highly technical, and readers are aided on their journey by some of church history’s finest, including Luther, Calvin,
Spurgeon, and Lloyd Jones.
For each passage Ventura highlights:
–
A central theme
–
A homiletical outline
–
Exegetical and practical insights
–
Applications for the church
–
Applications for non–believers
An excellent addition to any preacher’s bookshelf, this book will not only enrich your preaching,
but also cause your own heart to marvel anew at the grace of God.
