Description: Paul opens the theological heart of Romans by declaring he is 'not ashamed of the gospel' precisely because in a Roman honor-shame culture the gospel of a crucified Christ looked shameful; yet the gospel is God's own power that saves and rightens anyone who simply trusts him, exactly as Habakkuk trusted God's slow-seeming promises by faith.
