 The book of Romans in 30 seconds or less. It has been the call of God for humanity to live integrated, open, and free from the earliest Israelite culture through the time of Jesus, right to today. This call has always been global, all-encompassing, and particular and local. The letter to the Romans is a tale of the family of humanity. This particular chapter reminding us that we're all part of the story of God, some from the line of David, some from Moses, some from Abraham, but all from Adam. And through God's kindness and gentleness, we are members of the family of the new humanity through the new Adam, Jesus.
