If you want to know what this book is about, a quote from it summarizes it all:
"Your relationship to the law is now all gone.
Your old self is now all gone.
Your sins are now all gone.
All obstacles preventing closeness are now all gone."
This book was sometimes confusing, and not in a bad way, it just made the simple more complicated for me. Basically throughout the book we learn that God's Word, while important for life, is not something that we should allow to destroy us by the rules in it, and not that the rules aren't important, but his point was that behavior and having to live a certain way is not easy and we'll fail; yet trusting in God and understanding that His son resurrected so that we can now live in peace is the important factor.
It was a good book. I had it on my to-read list for a while and it was nice to finally read it!
