Romans, written by Paul. It was probably written in the mid to late 50’s A.D., perhaps around 58 or 59 A.D.
This epistle was addressed to the Romans. Typically thought to have been the fifth book written by Paul, after 1, 2 Thess, Galatians, and 1 Cor. And yet it is placed first in the bible because it is the most thorough and complete writing which addresses the central principles of Christianity.
Written from Corinth, during Pauls third visit there, the subject of this book is Salvation.
Romans states the divine provision of Gods grace, wherein God can declare sinners as righteous as a result of the work of Christ. It sets out the nature of the new life that believers may enjoy through the power of the Holy Spirit. And it also lays out the obligations that believers have as recipients of the grace blessings from God.
