NT 635 Letter to the Romans: Analysis, Hermeneutics, and Theology The student engages in a detailed study of the English text of Romans, composes an inductive Bible study on a selected passage from that epistle, and studies some of the reception history of the letter with a view to integrating biblical studies with systematic or historical theology.
