Rev. Cripe gives an interpretation of Romans which rises from the orthodox precept that revelation, not reason, is the test of truth. He sees faith, not intellect, as the link between man and God; the Word of God as the medium of communication, and the Holy Ghost as the Communicator. In his comprehensive commentary, Rev. Cripe disdains the intimidation of modem religious tradition and humanism. His commitment to the text and the context is immediately apparent to those who, like the Bereans, read with all readiness of mind and let the Scriptures distinguish the true from the false. With the clear, clarion voice of a prophet, Rev. Cripe incorporates independent and original thought with orthodox doctrinal disciplines that brush aside the stifling and misleading errors of rationalism. The childlike simplicity of the explanations in this book brings the mighty and timeless riches of Romans back into the reach of sincere Christians who seek the reality and vitality of the victorious Christian life evidenced by the Apostles and the Church of the first century. "The Epistle to the Romans furnishes us with the foundation stones of the Gospel," he says. Not Ashamed of the Gospel puts those foundation stones into their proper place.
