About the book

In this volume the Apostle brings his argument concerning assurance of salvation to a grand climax. The way in which he advances surely from argument to argument, piling one upon another, is astonishing, and constitutes the supreme example of inspired logic. In doing so he brings us face to face with the fundamental theme of the Bible -- God's plan and purpose of redemption conceived before time and the foundation of the world, and spanning the whole of human history from the original creation to the final glory. What is perhaps most astonishing of all is that all this was done out of a primary pastoral concern, The Apostle's main object being to comfort and to help those early Christians in Rome who were enduring what he calls "the sufferings of this present time". - Preface.
