In this episode, Nate Claiborne and Theologian-in-Residence Dr. Michael Allen provide a recap of Romans 1-8 to prepare for going back to Romans this coming Sunday. Mike gives several historical examples of how Romans was received and impacted key figures in church history. Then, Mike and Nate talk through the structure and highlights of Romans 1-8, ending with the question of why Paul seems to take a detour in 9-11 to talk about the fate of Israel.
