Introduction on the Book of
Romans
1:1-16:27 -
(from
Easton's Bible Dictionary) -
Romans, Epistle to the This
epistle was probably written at Corinth.
Phoebe (Romans
16:1)
of Cenchrea conveyed it to Rome,
and Gaius of Corinth entertained the apostle
at the time of his writing it (16:23;
1
Corinthians 1:14),
and Erastus was chamberlain of the city,
i.e., of Corinth (2
Timothy 4:20). The precise time at which it was written is not mentioned in the
epistle, but it was obviously written when the apostle was
about to "go unto Jerusalem to
minister unto the saints", i.e.,
at the close of his second visit to
Greece, during the winter preceding his last visit to that
city (Romans
15:25;
comp.
Acts 19:21;
20:2,3,16;
1 Corinthians 16:1-4),
early in A.D. 58 A.D.. It is
highly probable that
Christianity was planted in Rome
by some of those who had been at Jerusalem on the day of
Pentecost (Acts
2:10). |
