Lectures on Romans

Abstract

A transcript of Dr. Siegbert W. Becker's Lectures on Romans.

This volume presents Dr. Siegbert W. Becker’s lay lectures on the Book of Romans, edited by Gerhold Lemke and published by Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary Press. Becker offers a confessional Lutheran interpretation of Romans, emphasizing justification by faith, the universality of sin, and the righteousness of God. Drawing from Scripture and Lutheran doctrine, he defends biblical inerrancy and critiques modern theological trends. The lectures explore law and gospel, election, sanctification, and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles. Becker also addresses practical Christian living, conscience, and church conduct, urging humility and love. He refutes claims of papal origins in Rome, citing historical and biblical evidence. The volume includes a topical index, outline of Romans, and commentary on key passages, making it a rich resource for theological study and ministry. Becker’s teaching style blends doctrinal clarity with pastoral insight, presenting Romans as a foundational summary of the gospel. Abstract prepared by Microsoft Copilot (GPT-4).
