A helpful study guide that consists primarily of questions, which makes it more suitable for small group study than personal study. But if one has the discipline to think through and meditate on the questions suggested by Wright, this will be a fruitful guide through Romans. Depending on one's theological perspective on Paul, the guide could be considered weak on substitutionary atonement. However, Wright does an excellent job of bridging the theology or Romans with practical living. He helps us understand how the gospel is to impact the way we understand ourselves as the church and how we live in the world. Believers who study Romans together using this guide will be stronger for it.

I read this in a day by myself, which is pretty clearly not the point of a book like this but whatever, I wanted to see what N.T. Wright's crash course on Romans might be and this is a pretty good one! While it's obviously catered to starting group discussions, Wright does a good job at outlining the major points Paul is trying to make, and how we might begin to apply those conversations into the modern age, keeping a careful eye out for where the church has misconstrued the text and where it might become easy to miss the point.
