An Exposition of the Book of Romans

Chapter 1: Introduction

Since it is necessary to understand the originality of the message, not to indulge in false expectations regarding its content, therefore, the Book of Romans is not a theological study, or "guide to dogma," it is - a genuine letter. This is evidenced by its contents. Romans did not regard all the major issues of Christianity in a systematic sequence. It refers not to the asylum, and to the believers.

Then we meet him in a lively discussion with his companion, who objected, asking questions that are answered in a convincing tone.

So there was a Christian church in Rome. What was its composition? Whether it quantified the Christians from the Jews or Gentile Christians?

Tsang, said, referring to a number of statements of the message, as follows: "Thus we have proved that Paul regarded the Roman Church as a whole emerged from Judaism." O. Michel, on the contrary, ...
