The Gospel Of God - Romans (Vol 2)

Book Description

“It is hard to imagine a better approach to inductive Bible Study than we find in this series.”
—Diane Schreiner, women’s Bible Study leader for 20+ years

The book of Romans, written by the Apostle Paul, is one of the most theologically rich texts in the Bible. It addresses key themes foundational to Christian doctrine and faith. Romans is a comprehensive exploration of God’s righteousness, human sinfulness, the transformative power of faith, and the implications of living in Christ. It bridges theology with practical application, making it foundational for Christian understanding and discipleship.

In The Gospel of God: A Bible Study on Romans for Women (Vol 2), wise and helpful questions guide you deep into the text using the three basic steps of all sound Bible study: Observe, Interpret, Apply.

• This is an 18-week inductive study guide for women
  
• Each week’s chapter is divided into sections for 5 days of study
  
• Volume 2 covers Romans 9:1–16:27
  
• Ideal for small groups, individuals, or 1-on-1 mentoring
  
• Lots of extra white space for journaling
  
• Spiral-bound for lay-flat ease of writing

When we study the Bible inductively we want to know what the author meant when he wrote to his original audience. This involves reading Bible passages in context and asking questions about the text. The goal is to find the meaning and significance from the text itself.

We do this automatically every day when we read news, social media, or even recipes! Not surprisingly, it is also the best way to study God’s word.

At the beginning of this study you’ll find a brief, helpful introduction, including optional Notes for Leaders. This is followed by clear, simple questions that will help you to Observe what is being said, Interpret what Paul was communicating to his original readers, and Apply the book of Romans in your own life.

“It is hard to imagine a better inductive Bible study tool than this one. So many study tools wander from the biblical text, but Keri Folmar’s study concentrates on what [the biblical author] says…unfolding its message with accuracy and clarity…The questions are inductive and applicable, helping us to understand [the biblical author’s] intent and what [the book] means for our church involvement and our personal lives…I recommend this book for both individual and group study, for it will enable you to grow in your faith”

“Keri lets the Scriptures do the talking! No cleverly invented stories, ancillary anecdotes, or emotional manipulation here. Keri takes us deeper into the text, deeper into the heart of [the biblical author], deeper into the mind of Christ, and deeper into our own hearts… Each new week of study provides a review of the previous week, to help us keep in context what we’ve studied. The subsequent days are for gold digging, and there are rich treasures to discover…I appreciate the way Keri consistently challenges us to apply God’s Word to our own hearts, and also to our relationships in the body of Christ. This is a great study to do on your own or in partnership with someone who is not yet a Christian, or with someone who struggles with assurance or expresses a desire to have a vibrant life of faith and service to Christ…I highly commend this study.”
