Summer Bible Study 2026

The Book of Romans - “Faith through Love, the Sacraments, and Grace”

Join us for a 9-week exploration of Paul’s letter to the Romans. Sundays beginning June 14 at 9:20 am in Smoot Conference Room AND on Zoom (adjourning before the 10:15 service)


Bible study this summer will focus on Paul’s letter to the Romans. We will explore the writings that became the key influences to the development of Christian faith, theological reflections, and the development of our Christian practices.


The initial session on June 14 will include:

  • An overview of the course materials and more detail on the schedule.
  • A brief review of the theological and historical framework for Paul’s letters.

 

Each session will be led by a lay person with reference to a specific portion of the text.


The eight remaining sessions include a video, study guide, and discussion questions. We will use as a guide for discussion and reference material an online course offered by the Yale Bible Study Series, Romans. Participants are invited to find and use other sources of commentary and analysis, including study Bibles, concordances, and other books.

Yale Bible Study Guide

While it is encouraged to read the entire book of Romans, this study will take it from a theological / thematic approach. Please join us for some or all of the discussions. No need to attend every week to participate. All are welcome.​
