Overview of Romans

At Kindred's Wednesday night study...last week we started in the book of Romans. Tonight Elder, Dave Dunn continued on with his Introduction.

Below are some key verses that give a chapter by chapter overview of this book known as the Magna Carta of the Bible:

Romans 3:20 - The Religious Man
