Romans Verse by Verse

[JM]

William Newell's commentary on Romans is masterful! It deals with some of the Greek but in a devotional way without the dry intellectual-ism of most modern commentary.

Quote: Born May 22, 1868, in Savannah Ohio. William Reed Newell attended Wooster (Ohio) College, graduating in 1891. After studies at Princeton and Oberlin Seminaries, he pastored the Bethesda Congregational Church in Chicago until 1895, when Moody invited him to become the Assistant Superintendent of Moody Bible Institute under R. A. Torrey.

In this position Newell demonstrated his extraordinary gift of Bible exposition. Great audiences in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis and Toronto flocked to hear his city-wide, weekly Bible classes, leading to the publication of his widely known commentaries. Through his teaching he had a tremendous impact grounding believers in the Pauline gospel of grace. It was during this period that Newell also wrote the beloved gospel hymn, "At Calvary."

He fell asleep in Christ on April 1, 1956, in DeLand, Florida.

Few men have had a clearer grasp of the magnitude of God's grace in Christ, or have been able to convey it with such lasting results.
