Introduction of Romans

Paul’s letter to the Romans, written around AD 57 from Corinth, is the longest and most systematic of his letters. Addressed to a mixed Jewish and Gentile church in Rome that Paul had not yet visited, it presents a masterful explanation of the gospel. Paul explores sin, justification by faith, grace, the role of Israel, and Christian living. The letter’s depth and logical power have shaped Christian theology for centuries. Its vision of God’s righteousness and mercy leaves readers wrestling with how to live in light of such astonishing grace.
