Great
Yes . I couldn't contain all am presented with. Thank goodness I can repeat the video again and again.!
This course eclipses commentary voices where compartmentalizations address narrowing focuses.
Great content.
Yes, what I expected but already seeing new dimensions of truth set in a more structured way than I had encountered before.
The first couple of sessions left me breathless and puzzled due to, what appears to be, an expectation of prior knowledge about Romans. The Bible Project introduction to Romans helped a great deal. Perhaps this early part of the course would benefit from some visuals.
Teacher knows his stuff and is a wonderful explainer.
This is a game-changer. As a pastor and student of Romans for decades, this is a take that I’ve never considered. (Not so different as to seem heretical…but different enough so as to be a breath of fresh air in a Pauline letter that has often caused me angst.)
The material was dense and required a great deal of reflection. Professor Wright did an excellent job in presenting the varied strands of Paul's theology in Romans. I was struck by the depth of Paul's thinking and his relationship with Jesus. This has formed the basis for reading Paul's writings in a different light and force me to reconsider my thinking regarding justification and the New Covenant.
