Many evangelicals are taught to share the gospel according to the “Romans Road,” which charts a path through the Book of Romans to explain the path to salvation. But English theologian and prolific author N. T. Wright says that, while anything that highlights how God’s love reaches out to humanity is good news, the Book of Romans itself paints a far more beautiful picture of salvation than the “Romans Road” can encapsulate.
On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Wright and Moore discuss Wright’s new book on Romans 8, Into the Heart of Romans: A Deep Dive into Paul’s Greatest Letter. Their conversation includes the storyline of Scripture, what it means that there is “no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Rom. 8:1), and what keeps people from realizing that God is love. They talk about atonement theories, fear of judgment, and embracing the fact that Christians do not need to fear, for God is with them (Ps. 23).
