Hmm, is it a book? Or is it a course on the website? I did not see it.
It is a CD now, I got it when it was audio tape. You can find it at St. Paul Bookstore or online. Here is a site.

Scott Hahn Romans study. Scott will teach you Covenant Theology, Salvation history, he will teach you to look up passages. To read Romans you have to know that Paul quotes Genesis, story of Abraham, Deuteronomy, Psalms and Isaiah. He will show you how to examine texts in context. He tells you to notice the word therefore and ask what is it therefore. Paul never pits faith against action or faith against works and in fact uses the word faith the first and last time in the epistle by coupling it with the word obedience. Paul never says Faith alone.
Scott Hahn will point out what verses he used to use as a Protestant and how he misunderstood them. He will explain how and why he changed his understanding and left Protestant thought to become a Catholic. He uses Protestant sources, Catholic sources, Jewish sources.
QUOTE]Romans 1
5through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name’s sake, 6among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ;
Romans 16
revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, 26but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith
Romans 1 the bad news
Romans 2 requirement of the moral law, Paul says doing at least 6 times and says that works… judgment of God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:
Romans 2,3, 4 the good news…this is where Hahn points out and compares and contrasts Protestant understanding and his prior understanding and how he could not support Protestant thought after careful study and had to become Catholic.
Romans 3
1Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Whenever you read first, don’t you expect second, third, fourth. There is an answer to this in Romans 11.
Romans 4 the good news
Romans 5 Original Sin
Romans 6 Baptism, how to get out of Original sin
Romans 7 Old Covenant Dead as in marriage & concupisence
Romans 8 The Holy Spirit, our purpose, redemptive suffering
Romans 9 The promise of an impartial God
Romans 10 Paul pleads just like Moses to the People of God, the Judaizing Christian and opens in 11 with…
Romans 11
1I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew.
If every Catholic did this study they would be able to meet anyone on a better level than trading verses. If a Protestant comes to me and tells me that I should confess with my lips and believe with my heart as in Romans 10 ir faith comes by hearing or there is no one righteous or all have sinned… I say lets sit down and talk about you understanding of this book…
Do you know when it was written?
Do you know where Paul was when it was written?
Do you know if Paul had ever been there?
Do you know who Pauls teacher was?
Do you know if the letter was addressed to Christians or non Christians?
Is there an underlying theme to this letter?
Does Paul ever say faith alone.
This is a perfect tool to evangelize anyone that believes the bible is the word of God. Knowing how to properly read and understand the book of Romans is an aid.
