Epistle to the Romans

Handley C. G. Moule

Introduction

BY THE RIGHT REVEREND HANDLEY C.G. MOULE, D.D.

BISHOP MOULE was Principal of Ridley Hall, Cambridge, from 1881 until he was elected Norrisian Professor of Divinity, Cambridge University, in 1899. He was consecrated Bishop of Durham in 1901 and maintained the distinction given this Episcopal See by his predecessors, Bishop Lightfoot and Bishop Westcott. He wrote many expositions, commentaries, theological and devotional works and biographies. Among them were “Outlines of Christian Doctrine,” “Veni Creator,” “Cathedral, University and Other Sermons,” “Ephesian Studies.” His Biography was written by J.B. Harford and F. C. Macdonald.

The Epistle to the Romans is the most constructive writing of the Apostle Paul. This systematic exposition of the Christian Faith met the difficulties of Jewish unbelief and pagan scepticism and confirmed the confidence of Christians in the revelation of eternal facts and principles, based upon the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The problem, of faith and conduct are discussed in a truly catholic spirit without the narrowness of sectarianism. Its comprehensive outlook contemplates the unity of mankind in Christ.

Bishop Moule’s exposition of this encyclical letter is marked by the rare spiritual insight of cultured evangelicalism. He also shows how this letter, dictated by St. Paul in the house of the wealthy Gaius of Corinth, in the spring of 58 A.D., has continued to refresh and replenish the resources of Christians in every age by giving them access to the fountain of eternal life and redemption.
