Grace reigns, says James Montgomery Boice, not because God is gracious to us no matter what we do, but because grace has created in us a genuinely godly walk.

In this commentary on Romans 5-8. Boice probes the great promises and serious warnings that relate to God's grace at work in those who repent and turn to Jesus Christ.

Based on his sermons preached at the Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia and on "The Bible Study Hour" programs, this book has ominous news for the modern church: Evangelicalism is in decline because too many adherents are not truly saved.

Boice declares that Christians have not been listening to Romans 5-8. People who profess to believe and follow Christ should show signs of being "controlled" by the Holy Spirit. Topics in The Reign of Grace include:

"God's Purpose in Human Suffering" (5:3-5)

"Abounding Grace" (5:20)

"Whatever Became of Sin?" (7:13)

"The Greatest Chapter in the Bible" (8:1-39)

"The Inheritance of God's Saints" (8:17)

"Five Unanswerable Questions" (8:31-36)

Romans: An Expositional Commentary provides a rich,. stimulating study for pastors and teachers who would share "the most powerful, transforming force in human history" and anyone who would experience it.
