Can young people understand the book of Romans?
Yes. The book of Romans is the Word of God brought down to the level of every human being, so even twelve- and thirteen-year-old kids can comprehend it. Its message is not restricted to scholars or adults but is accessible to young people as they read and are taught.
Les teaches that Romans is the Word of God brought right down to the level of every human being, explaining that even 12- and 13-year-old kids can comprehend it. He also models careful reading by stopping at the word 'therefore' in chapter 8, noting that it sends you back to why it is said. He warns against relying on commentaries, saying they are just commentators, and mentions theologians who disagree about where that 'therefore' points—one taking it back to Romans 5:1 rather than chapter 7.
