As the author himself admits, what ‘works’ in a sermon does not always read as well, and this exposition of Romans 8 may well have been richer in the hearing, but even as a written and read series of studies it is powerful, pastoral and, at times, intensely moving.
In the course of 11 chapters, Derek Thomas carefully leads us through Paul’s unfolding of God’s eternal and sovereign purposes in the life of a believer from eternity past to eternity future, glorying in all the implications of those purposes, from ‘no condemnation’ in 8.1 to no separation at the end of the chapter.
