About this listen
An in-depth study of Romans from today's foremost interpreter of Paul.
Romans is often and for good reason considered a crux of Christian thought and theology, the greatest of Paul's letters. And within Romans, chapter 8 is one of the most spectacular pieces of early Christian writing.
But to many readers, Romans can be a deceptively difficult book. Its scope and basic meaning may be clear, but it can be hard to see how it all fits together into a cohesive, if complex, doctrinal argument.
N. T. Wright—widely regarded as the most influential commentator and interpreter of Paul—deftly unpacks this dense and sometimes elusive letter, detailing Paul's arguments and showing how it illuminates the Gospel from the promises to Abraham through the visions of Revelation. Wright takes a deep dive into Romans 8, showing how it illuminates so much else that God reveals in Scripture: God the Father, Christology, and the Spirit; Jesus' Messiahship, cross, resurrection, and ascension; salvation, redemption, and adoption; suffering and glory; holiness and hope.
Into the Heart of Romans will help you become familiar with the book of Romans in a deeper way that will also deepen your understanding and appreciation of the Gospel itself.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Eye Opening
This is pretty technical but accesible, deeply pastoral and very enlightening. Anyone who teaches or preaches needs to read it—in my case, several times. Is this Tom Wright’s best yet? Maybe.

Cautious praise
There is a lot to be savoured here, even if he does alienate most Christians by denying the immortal soul and the beatific vision after death. It is good to ponder the new creation but it is safer to say with all of Christian history that the baptised soul is already risen in Christ, while the body will follow at the Final Coming. Traditional Christianity has it right, and when Paul says it is better for him to depart and be with Christ, he is speaking of the moment of his death. There is clearly a "him" still living on after death and not just a memory of him lingering in the Holy Spirit. His facile attack on the Catholic liturgical feast of Christ the King is also misplaced. Presumably not understanding the nature of the Eucharistic presence of Jesus, he fails to understand the nature of the liturgical cycle, as well as the true way in which heaven and earth mingle and Christ reigns in hearts. In spite of the departures from certain essential doctrines of faith, there is much to learn in this book. Thumbs up above all for being so passionate about a careful re-reading of well-known scriptural texts.
