S 11 Ep 1: Believe vs Believe and...

Tim Dunn
About this episode

Paul writes The Book of Romans to the believers in the most prominent and influential city of the age - Rome. These believers, like many Christians, are struggling with a specific theological tension. Is belief enough? Or are certain works required as well? There are Jewish believers on both sides of the argument and the Gentile believers in Rome are not sure what to think. In this episode, we talk about this central question, how Paul addresses it, and how we still wrestle with it today.
