About this course

Reading Romans works through Paul's letter one section at a time, tracing the argument from start to finish. You learn to follow how each chapter builds on the last, and why this letter has shaped Christian thought for two thousand years.

What you'll be able to do

  • Follow the argument of Romans from start to finish
  • Understand key terms: righteousness, justification, faith, law
  • Read chapters 9 through 11 in the context of the whole letter
  • Apply careful reading methods to any New Testament letter

Questions about this course

Is this course too advanced if I haven't taken a survey?

It's written for careful readers. The survey helps but isn't required, and the first week sets out the background you need.

What happens during the free week?

You join the cohort that's taking the course right now, in whatever week it's in, for seven days: that week's lessons and assignments, the discussion, and the other students. If you enroll, you start at week one with the next cohort, so nothing you see is skipped.

What happens when the free week ends?

Your access simply ends. There is no card on file, so there is nothing to cancel and nothing to charge. If you want to continue, you enroll in the next cohort.

How much time does it take each week?

Plan on about 4 to 6 hours a week for eight weeks. Most students fit it around full-time work.

Will someone call me?

No. We don't collect phone numbers. Everything happens by email.
