Welcome! This three-part seminar explores the theological structure of Romans and Paul's vision for the Christian life. In the first two sessions, Jonathan will present lessons guiding us through the book of Romans. In the third session, Jonathan will present on the vision and mission of Aqueduct Project. The seminar will be held on March 7, 14, and 21, 2010, at the 11:15am Sunday School hour at Forest Hills Bible Chapel (4637 Ada Dr., SE; Ada, MI 49301). We hope you'll join us! Part I: Paul's Exposition of the Gospel (Rom 1-8) In preparation for our first session, please read the Romans Study Guide. After reading through this study guide, you will be ready for our step-by-step climb from Romans chapter one up to the celebrated peak of Romans chapter eight! Part II: The Salvation of Israel and an Exhortation to Christian Living (Rom 9-16) Please do your best to read through Romans in advance of our second session. If you read two chapters each day on Monday through Friday and three chapters on Saturday and Sunday, you'll have read through the whole epistle in time for our second session. Whether you've never read Romans or read it a hundred times, I am confident you'll see the epistle in a new light. Part III: The Vision and Mission of the Aqueduct Project I am pleased to be able to present a little information about the Aqueduct Project in this third session. I'll be sharing about our goals and hope for the future, and I'd appreciate your willingness to pray for the continued success of the project.

- "Dr. Jonathan Armstrong's courses on the Interpretation of the Bible in the early church and the mission and expansion of the church in 30-180 AD have been excellent both in terms of their content and presentation. They contributed significantly to the quality of our programme and have enhanced the students' understanding of the importance of the early church's history and its relevance for understanding the Bible." — Tchavdar hadjiev, D.Phil, IFES Associate Regional Secretary for Europe; Academic Dean of the United Theological Faculty of the Bulgarian Evangelical Theological Institute
- "Studying Paul's Epistle to the Romans gives us the best understanding of the gospel message that Paul preached... Jonathan J. Armstrong's seminar at ETS in the fall of 2008 helped our students to realize the importance of this book for their lives and ministry." — Alexei Gorbachev, Ph.D., Academic Dean of Eurasian Theological Seminary, Moscow
- "Jonathan's presence with us at Wycliffe Hall and within the wider University of Oxford was a great blessing. Our students very much valued his enthusiastic teaching of Greek language and his insights into biblical thought. His lectures combine a commitment to Scripture with a deep knowledge of the early church period—which always gives his teaching an added quality of historical depth." — Rev. Dr. Peter Walker, Associate Vice-Principal of Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford
- "Jonathan's teaching on A History of Christianity: The First Five Centuries was very helpful for our pastoral staff; it was eye-opening and well worth our time. I warmly recommend him to you." — Dr. James Samra, Senior Pastor, Calvary Church, Grand Rapids
