NT535 A Study of Romans: Sola Fide—By Faith Alone—the Birth of Reformation (2 Credits)
Tuesdays: 7.00 pm-9.15 pm  

The 500th anniversary of the Reformation was celebrated in 2017. Martin Luther posted a manuscript in 1517, commonly named as the Ninety-Five Theses, which restated the doctrine that salvation rested on faith alone (sola fide) in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone. Luther came to that conviction by studying Romans. Would you like to study the book that transformed him and gave birth to the Protestant faith?

Come and learn from the teacher Dr Andrew Spurgeon who has published a commentary on Romans among other published works.
