Old Testament
Solomon is perhaps best known for his wisdom and for building the Temple. Of the two, Temple building seems to get top billing in the Chronicles. Is this any reflection on the relative importance on these two facets of Solomon’s life?
New Testament
What did Paul mean when he wrote, “For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14 (RSV).
