Righteous by Faith Alone: A Devotional Commentary on Romans
This exposition on what the author calls "one of the richest and most beautiful parts of the word of God" is clear in language, simple and warm in teaching, rich in practical application, and faithful to Scripture. This exposition is addressed not to the scholars, but to the very same audience for whom the apostle wrote the epistle: the "beloved of God, called to be saints."
What others are saying about the book:
"...the best combination of theology and devotional reading that I have come across in a long time." —Evangelical Times
"...the personal benefits from this exposition are as fine gold." —New Focus
"An excellent example of homiletics. The preacher has carefully pondered his text and in his exposition brings out the coherence and exposition of it before making clear application...I am happy to recommend these sermons. The reading of them has been profitable, indeed at times something of a challenge. They would serve well for devotional reading, being relatively short, but even the scholar will find material here to interest and challenge. Our thanks go to Hoeksema and Swart for the preaching and transcribing and to Professor Engelsma for the editing. RFPA has done its usual exemplary work in this production." - Michael Kimmitt
