Description
Most, if not all, of the great revivals and reformations in the history of the church have been directly related to the book of Romans. In September A.D. 386, a native of North Africa who had been a professor for several years in Milan, Italy, sat weeping in the garden of his friend Alypius, contemplating the wickedness of his life. While sitting there, he heard a child singing, “Tolle, lege. Tolle, lege” which in Latin means “Take up and read. Take up and read.” An open scroll of the book of Romans lay beside him, and he picked it up. The first passage that caught his eye read, “Not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in
regard to its lusts” (13:13–14).
