Roman Christianity
Introduction The Book of Romans
AUTHOR: PAUL, the apostle (Rom 1:1)
PLACE OF WRITING: CORINTH; as evident from the greetings of
Gaius, who lived at Corinth (Rom 16:23; 1 Co 1:14), and of Erastus,
who had settled down there (Rom 16:23; 2 Ti 4:20). Also, Phoebe, who
apparently accompanied the epistle (Rom 16:1-2), was from the church
at Cenchrea, a "suburb" of Corinth.
TIME OF WRITING: 57-58 A.D.; while on his third journey (
Ac 20:1-3), just prior to his arrival to Jerusalem with the collection for
the needy saints (Rom 15:25-26; Ac 20:16; 24:17).
Introduction The Book of Romans
BACKGROUND OF THE CHURCH AT ROME: Nothing is
revealed in the New Testament as to the start of the church in Rome. It
is possible that visitors to Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost following
the Lord's ascension were among the 3000 saved and later took the
gospel with them back home (Ac 2:10). Or it could be that among those
dispersed following Stephen's death were some that went to Rome and
preached the gospel there (Ac 8:1-4).
Introduction The Book of Romans
The first we read of Christians from Rome is possibly that of Aquila and
Priscilla, who along with all Jews were expelled from Rome by
Claudius and were found by Paul at Corinth during his second journey (
Ac 18:1-2). After travelling with Paul to Ephesus and working with the
church there (Ac 18:18-19, 24-26; 1 Co 16:19), we find them back at
Rome and hosting a church in their house (Rom 16:3-5).
Introduction The Book of Romans
From the greetings given by Paul in chapter sixteen, it appears that there
were several churches in Rome meeting in various homes (Rom 16:5,
14-15). The names of individuals would suggest that the Christians were
primarily Gentiles, with a smaller number of Jews.
The reputation of the Christians in Rome was widespread; both their
faith (Rom 1:8) and obedience (Rom 16:19) were well known. For this
reason Paul had long wanted to see them (Rom 15:23), with the goal of
sharing in their mutual edification (Rom 1:11-12) and to be assisted on
his way to Spain (Rom 15:22-24).
Introduction The Book of Romans
PURPOSE OF WRITING: Paul expresses in this epistle that he had
for some time planned to preach the gospel at Rome (Rom 1:13-15) and
from there go on to Spain (Rom 15:22-24). Though he still had these
intentions (Rom 15:28-29), the spreading cancer of the "Judaizing
teachers" which had disrupted churches in Antioch, Corinth and Galatia
was likely to make its way to Rome. To prevent this, and to assure that
his visit to Rome would be a pleasant one (Rom 15:30-33), Paul writes:
TO SET STRAIGHT THE DESIGN AND NATURE OF
THE GOSPEL
Introduction The Book of Romans
In doing so, he demonstrates how the gospel of Christ fulfills what is
lacking in both heathenism and Judaism, thereby effectively replacing
them as religious systems. Such an epistle would arm the church at
Rome against those who would pervert the gospel or suggest that it was
inadequate by itself.
