Life
The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle, whom scholars broadly agree wrote it, with Tertius as scribe (Romans 16:22)[1]. English Wikipedia places it in late 55 to early 57 AD, most likely in Corinth[1]; Arabic Wikipedia estimates about 58 AD, in Corinth or near Cenchreae, and says Phoebe carried it[2]. The dating therefore differs by a year or more.
It was addressed to the church in Rome, made up of Jewish and Gentile Christians; its main themes are justification and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ for Jews and Gentiles, the transformation of believers, God's faithfulness to Israel, and obedience to earthly authorities[1]. Several manuscripts carry the subscript "προς Ρωμαιους", and some add that it was written from Corinth[1].
