The Theme of Hope

The Apostle Paul makes us better readers of the Old Testament in his letter to the Romans. The manner in which he quotes the Old Testament teaches us what we need to look out for when reading the Old Testament. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey explores a primary purpose of the Old Testament that Paul outlines for us in Romans: to be encouragement to us that we might endure and have hope.
