Dead to Sin, Alive to God in Christ: Romans 6 for the Life of the Church (Touchstone Texts Series)

Romans 6 is one of the most important texts on Christian living, conversion, and baptism, and it is foundational
for Christian ethics. It profoundly challenges widespread cultural assumptions in the West about individual
autonomy and what it means to be authentically human. It also challenges believers to live up to their gospel
and its implications.
In this exposition of Romans 6, two senior scholars offer guidance on preaching and teaching major Pauline
theological concepts. Romans 6 reveals the foundation of Paul's theology and indeed the whole of Christianity:
We must die with Christ to live with him. The authors place this important chapter within the context of the
entire letter, trace its influence on theology and church doctrine, and show how this classic text can speak
afresh to the life of the church today. The book is perfect for sermon preparation and small group study.
The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible
to the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman, Duke Divinity School.Read less
