Book Synopsis
J.I. Packer, a highly in!uential 20th-century evangelical theologian,
held the book of Romans in the highest possible regard, viewing it as
the pinnacle of Christian doctrine and the clearest expression of the
gospel.
One of Dr. Packer’s most famous quotes on the book of Romans is
found in his famous work, “Knowing God.”
"All roads in the Bible lead to Romans, and all views a"orded by the
Bible are seen most clearly from Romans, and when the message of
Romans gets into a person's heart there is no telling what may
happen."
Dr. Packer considered the book of Romans as the most comprehensive
and powerful book in the Bible. Like many prominent theologians he
considered this book to be the apex of Scripture. He also considered
Romans chapter 8 as the high water mark of Scripture.
