Dust to Destiny: Reading Romans Today
Description
The Reading the Bible today series of non-technical commentaries is devoted to presenting careful scholarship in a way that everyone can understand and enjoy. The letter to the Romans provides one of the New Testament's most comprehensive theological statements. Dr David Seccombe explains its complex truths clearly and powerfully. He brings the apostle Paul's words to life for modern readers.
" David Seccombe writes on this letter, Paul's magnum opus, with great passion. Here is a dynamic and gripping work which will shake us all up! "
- Dr Paul Barnett, Series Editor
Dr David Seccombe is both a scholar and a pastor. He holds a PhD in New Testament Studies from Cambridge University, and is currently Principal of George Whitefield College in Cape Town, South Africa. His research has given him the opportunity to explore the message of the New Testament writers to the first century world.
As a pastor he has discovered the many-sided relevance of that message to today's men, women and children. David Seccombe served as preacher for 14 years to a vibrant church of students and families (St Matthew's Church, Shenton Park in Western Australia), and continues to be involved in evangelism and caring for growing Christians.
