What does Paul mean when he refers to the 'gospel of God'? Equally important, since Romans is often used as a prooftext for the concept of salvation by grace alone--though Paul says we are saved "by grace through faith"--Paul speaks here of the "obedience of faith." Paul sets the stage in Romans 1-11 to deal with a very real problem... How do we understand what Jesus did in terms of salvation for both Jew and Gentile? Watch for an interesting twist or turn as we look to Paul's letter for guidance in this day and age.
