Ancient Truths Still Relevant for an Emerging Church

Romans, the Magna Carta of our faith, bears up under scrutiny

2007-09-28


LONGWOOD, FL-If there is one book that should be part of our survival gear for the coming times, it's the book of Romans. Considered to be the "Magna Carta" of our faith by many modern-day scholars, Romans comprises one of the most important pieces of New Testament canon in the Christian Bible. Dr. Al Huba, author of The Apostle's Heart: A Contemporary Study of the Book of Romans (paperback, 978-1-60266-285-8), takes an in-depth look at the innermost feelings of the writer, the apostle Paul, toward his beloved church. By articulating ancient doctrines in a relevant and practical fashion, Huba connects with his audience and delivers a fresh message that is much needed in a time of strife and turmoil.

Much of the contemporary church desires to return to its roots, or the doctrines of the first-century apostles. If the church plans to survive and be a strong influence in this world, it must absorb the foundational teachings of its spiritual forefathers. "In a time of much social and religious distrust I hope the reader will find a bedrock of truth to rest their concerns upon," says Huba. "Where hypocrisy and deceptive teachings abound, the grace of God abounds even more as evidenced by a new and dynamic resurgence of His Word."

This humble treatise is both scholarly and practical. Readers will learn the importance of repentance, justification, and liberation, words that are foreign to much of the church today. Although written in or around 56 A.D., the book of Romans still reflects the yearning of a God who pleads with us to "return to My Word."

Dr. AL Huba is director of counseling at Crossroads Counseling Center in Clermont, Florida. He and his wife, Brenda, have seven children.
