Excerpt from Studies in Romans
The book of Holy Scripture is an unfolding of the pur pose, plan and program of God, from Genesis to Revela tion, each book or books, equally inspired of God (2 Tim. 3: 15; 2 Pet. 1: but each succeeding part adding to the progressive unfolding of God's purpose in the process of revelation.
We insist at once and always, that the subject-matter of the Scriptures has to do with three classes, viz.: the Jew, the Gentile and the Church of God. These are not identical, never have been and never will be. Kingdom and Church have not a single letter in common. There is no way, logically, etymologically or theologically, to induce them to mean the same thing. The Epistles of Paul are addressed to the Church of God, and are as distinct from the other writings as the Church is in her calling and character, conduct and destiny, from Israel and the nations.
The student must face this fact or fail to grasp the meaning of the Book! The saddest fact in the history of the Church is the ignoring of the Church Epistles. They are looked upon as but an appendage to the Gospels and Acts - as having about as much significance as a footnote to a book, and about the same relation - incidental when they are fundamental.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deep dive into the Epistle to the Romans, one of the most profound and influential writings in the New Testament. The author delves into the intricate structure of the epistle, revealing its unique division into three main sections: Salvation, Dispensation, and Exhortation. The book meticulously unpacks each section, unveiling the author's message of condemnation, justification, and sanctification. The book's unique focus lies in the exploration of the Parenthetical Portion (Chapters 9-11) which addresses the special relationship between God and the chosen nation of Israel. The author argues that this section is a crucial insertion to the overall message, emphasizing God's ongoing commitment to Israel while simultaneously introducing the mystery of the Church. The book's exploration of these themes provides a framework for understanding the relationship between the Jew and the Gentile, the role of the law versus grace, and the distinct roles of Israel and the Church in God's plan.
