The Normal Christian Life

Romans is a Christian classic. In it, Nee defines and describes

good Christian living, deriving insights from his reading of

Paul's letter. His approach possesses a rare originality; Nee's

theology had very few influences outside of his own study of

Scripture. He stresses how God's grace both enables and

challenges Christians to continue Christ's work and prepare

the way for his return. Nee's own remarkable life as a Chinese

missionary and martyr deepens this message. Given that

Western thought and culture formed and informed the great

majority of Christian writings; Nee's Eastern background

brings a refreshing diversity to the corpus of commentaries

on Romans.
