Introducing Romans – "Everyone Belongs"

Welcome to Season 6: Romans! It's time to journey through Paul's legendary letter, where we'll discover that this is a pastoral argument for overcoming ethnic supremacism in the local church. It's got nothing – NOTHING – to do with being saved from a violent authoritarian god's torture through ritual sacrifice.It gets better: even some of the most popular Christian sentiments that cite Romans ("there's nothing you can do to earn your salvation") is an out of focus riff on what Paul's actually doing. In that case, it's Paul's vision of a universal belonging in God through Christ (1:16), that takes concrete historical form as a community in which no ethnic markers that can earn our holy belonging.Intrigued?
