A Summer Intensive with N.T. Wright

Where Romans Lands: Romans 12-16

Romans 12:2 calls us to “be transformed by the renewing of the mind.” Many Christians are familiar with this charge, but overlook how Paul defines this task. The final five chapters of Romans are sometimes disregarded as closing remarks after the theological heights of Romans 1–11. But this is where the entire epistle lands.

In Romans 12–16, Paul makes the abstract call of "transformation" concrete, unfolding what renewed thinking and living actually look like within the life of the church. In doing so, he paints a vivid portrait of a community shaped by God’s spirit, embodying a new humanity, and drawing the nations to worship through active display of the gospel’s beauty.

Join us in Houston for four days of deep study and communal reflection about how Romans 12–16 transforms the imagination and practices of Jesus’s followers today. Together, we’ll consider how Paul’s vision can challenge, renew, and inspire the church in our own moment.
