Romans 1: Notes and Reflections

by James E. Faulconer

The book of Romans can be difficult to understand, and it is used more than any other biblical book to challenge LDS doctrine. "When we understand Romans, it is obvious that not only need we not fear having others discuss Paul's teachings, but we can use those very teachings to teach the truthfulness of the gospel understood through latter-day revelation"

In commenting on Romans 1 verse by verse, author James E. Faulconer touches on such topics as faith, holiness, obedience, service to Christ, personal conversion and repentance, and becoming true saints. Romans 1: Notes and Reflections can be a valuable tool for those who are studying the book of Romans or looking for new ways to study other scripture.

Reviews

[Karl Nehring · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book presents Dr. Faulconer's own translation along with the KJV and JST translations, together with his commentary. As a professional philosopher and a knowledgeable LDS scholar, he digs into the meaning and implication of what Paul has written to deliver an informative and practical end product. Reading his commentary makes you want to dig more deeply into the scriptures, which is precisely what Dr. Faulconer had in mind for his readers as he worked so hard on this brief but ever-so-engaging and entertaining book.
