Into the Heart of Romans

A Deep Dive into Paul's Greatest Letter

By: N. T. Wright

Narrated by: John Sackville

An in-depth study of Romans from today's foremost interpreter of Paul.

Romans is often and for good reason considered a crux of Christian thought and theology, the greatest of Paul's letters. And within Romans, chapter 8 is one of the most spectacular pieces of early Christian writing.

But to many readers, Romans can be a deceptively difficult book. Its scope and basic meaning may be clear, but it can be hard to see how it all fits together into a cohesive, if complex, doctrinal argument.

N. T. Wright—widely regarded as the most influential commentator and interpreter of Paul—deftly unpacks this dense and sometimes elusive letter, detailing Paul's arguments and showing how it illuminates the Gospel from the promises to Abraham through the visions of Revelation. Wright takes a deep dive into Romans 8, showing how it illuminates so much else that God reveals in Scripture: God the Father, Christology, and the Spirit; Jesus' Messiahship, cross, resurrection, and ascension; salvation, redemption, and adoption; suffering and glory; holiness and hope.

Into the Heart of Romans will help you become familiar with the book of Romans in a deeper way that will also deepen your understanding and appreciation of the Gospel itself.

The Challenge of Romans

I deeply love that Bishop Tom continually challenges complacent acceptance of "what we've always supposed" about any and all of the Books & Letters of the New Testament.

This is quite a thorough response to John Piper's attempts to devalue & denigrate Bishop Tom's scholarship
& study.

The READER makes the BOOK a hard listen

The subject matter, as always with NT Wright, is fascinating and substantive! The reader knows this book is MONOTONE and has completed ruined a great book. Mixing in some inflection, measured expression, or any of the fundamental performance best practices, would have made this SO much better.

Very nice.

If you want to understand the heart of Romans, listen to this book.

The narrator has a very nice voice, and does a nice job pronouncing Greek and Hebrew words .

It’s All About That Rock That Rolled!

Clarity about first century issues. Brings the text to life. Certainly centers on the heart beat of Paul’s most magnificent work.

Changed my life!

The whole exposition was eye opening and reached into my soul. Have been a believer all my life and a seeker for most of it. Now I am 73 and feel if I never read another book —I get it.
