BIB 456 - Romans (3 credits)
Instructor: David Feddes
I am not ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16).
God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8).
Overview: This class offers an in-depth study of the book of Romans, exploring Paul's meaning in the original context and the relevance of Romans for today.
Course Outcomes:
- Understand Paul's main ideas and detailed explanations in Romans.
- Interpret Romans in the context of its author, recipients, and cultural setting.
- Integrate major themes of Romans with other strands of Scripture.
- Defend key Christian doctrines rooted in Romans.
- Evaluate various theological perspectives in light of Romans.
- Apply Romans to faith, life, and witness in contemporary settings.
Resources: This course includes materials from Kenneth Berding, Tim Keller, Steven Lawson, Douglas Moo, Sam O'Neal, John Piper, Thomas Schreiner, and Sam Storms.
Recommended Commentary: John R. W. Stott, The Message of Romans (not required, but very helpful for anyone who plans to preach or teach from Romans)
Required Assignments:
- Read the portion of Romans assigned for each unit.
View all online lectures and read all articles on each topic. Active engagement with course materials prior to attempting the quiz is required for each unit.

Quizzes are open-note. You may reference your own notes or any of the provided CLI course materials during the quiz. However, you should plan to study materials prior to attempting the quiz.
4. At the end of the course, you will be invited to complete a brief Course Feedback Survey. Your feedback helps CLI evaluate the course and identify opportunities for improvement.Quiz Tip: First answer the questions you know. Then use your own notes or the provided CLI course materials to help answer any questions you are unsure about.

Meet CLI Student Joanne Adolphe
"Once I realized I was called to preach the word I wanted to study and get trained in order to be more effective. I tried searching online for free bible training to learn the word of God, to understand and know it better on a deeper level but I couldn’t find anything that was interesting or good enough to me. I started one of them anyway but stopped because I felt like I wasn’t really learning. A few days ago, I felt this push and urgency that I needed to start taking bible classes but I cannot afford college right now. I went back on google and searched “Free Theology Degree” and there was Christian Leaders Institute. I feel so blessed and grateful knowing that I can actually earn a degree with CLC without having to pay the extensive amount of money other colleges are charging. I am so exited already and I can’t wait to start my classes. Thank you so much CLI and CLC for this opportunity and may God continue to bless you for the great work you are doing. Shalom!!!"
Please pray for Joanne and her ministry!
