I have sat through at least three extended series of verse-by-verse lessons on the Book of Romans that seemed to go nowhere month after month. Therefore I tried instead to see if I could design a one-semester course outline for our Sunday school class that treated it a little more topically instead, with an emphasis on the rich theological truths that are contained in it. Therefore, for your consideration, is what I arrived at, with the key theological words in parentheses. You may find it of use in either group or individual Bible study.
I. Man's Problem
A. Recognizing the Problem (revelation, gospel mystery, prophet, apostle, conscience)
Romans 1:1-5; 1:8-20; 2:14-15; 10:14-21; 15:14-24; 16:25-27
B. Nature of the Problem (judge, judgment, wrath, evil, commandment, law)
Romans 1:21-32; 2:1-29; 3:1-23
II. God's Solution
A. The Call (called, elect, predestined, saint, foreknow)
Romans 1:6-7; 8:28-30; 9:1-33
B. Christ's Work (salvation, save, reconciliation, redemption, expiation)
Romans 3:24-25; 5:6-11; 10:9-13; 13:11
C. Justification by Faith (righteous, righteousness, faith , works, justification)
Romans 3:27-31; 4:1-25
III. Present Implications: Theological, or Heavenly

IV. Present Implications: Practical, or Earthly
A. Fruit of the Spirit (peace, hope, joy, Spirit)

B. Living in the World (enemy, world, subject, authority, transform)

C. Living in the Body (body, one another, love)
Romans 12:3-13, 13:8-10, 15:7-12, 15:25-33; 16:1-23
D. Bearing with the Weak (weak, strong, faith)
Romans 14:1-15:6
