These first four study guides in a 16-volume set from noted Bible scholar John MacArthur take readers on a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing questions that guide the reader toward application, as well as ample space for journaling, The MacArthur Bible Studies are an invaluable tool for Bible students of all ages.
John MacArthur is noted for his in-depth studies and exegesis. This excellent study on Romans comes complete with a NKJ version of the Book of Romans, with short marginal notes on what MacArthur considers commentary you should know about. There is a section included in each chapter called "Going Deeper" which is also a wonderful optional challenge for study. The questions are not easy but not overly difficult for anyone who is willing to work at it. Romans, the most doctrinal book of the Bible, is of inestimable value for any Christian to know and know well. MacArthur makes it easier, although not easy. I teach Bible studies and my mature women students are salivating to get to this, having been familiarized with MacArthur's other works. So if you really care about the Bible and about what Romans teaches you about living the Christian life, this isn't fluffy. It's serious business and highly recommended.
great study, but be ready to work hard

This is a great study of the book of Romans. MacArthur goes into such detail with the words and tense that a person can gain so much understanding by the original language. Be ready to work hard and be in the book of Romans for a while. He gives you so much to think about that you will not be able to sit down and do this study justice in a week.
