羅文謙博士的專業領域為解經、釋經學和新約神學，這些學科與普世宣教和教會的屬靈增長息息相關。舉凡大學生事工、大學教育和牧養教會，他都有廣泛的經驗，並已拓植兩間教會。他筆下著作有《加拉太書中肉體與聖靈之爭》(暫譯)和《烈火聖約—讓聖經的烈火轉化你的生命》，以及《心中有愛，奉獻無礙—聖經教導的奉獻觀》。同時他也在Bibliotheca Sacra、《福音派神學協會期刊》、《恩典神學期刊》、《西敏神學院期刊》、《美國三一神學院期刊》和《今日基督教雜誌》等刊物發表文章*。他一生的首要職志就是看見教會實現大使命、透過發展生氣蓬勃的肢體社群，使教會得著更新，以及藉由鮮活地教導經文使教會更茁壯。
羅博士認為他可以藉著出版著作為教會更新和普世宣教擺上，他認為這幾個需求非常重要，身為一個作者，他想要貢獻己力。
