Romans: Intro.

Authorship: Paul.

Date: 57 A.D.

Audience: Christians worshiping in house churches in Rome.

Genre: A long, formal letter in Koine Greek.

*aha!: Paul wrote Romans with a special anticipation. It was written near the end of his third missionary journey. He had long been anticipating to encourage the believers in Rome and share with them his unique plans for Rome and the surrounding areas. This passion is clearly shown by Paul’s avid presentation of his theological thoughts and intense focus on righteousness and the fruits that come of it.
