The Epistle of Saint Paul to the Romans
The longest of the Pauline epistles, The Epistle of Saint Paul to the Romans is widely considered to his masterpiece and be a cornerstone of Christian theology. Likely written around 56 AD, after successfully evangelizing throughout the Aegean Sea, Paul was about to visit Jerusalem before heading to spread the gospel in Spain, stopping in Rome along the way. The letter lays out his reasons for the trip, and to prepare Rome for his arrival.
Paul professes his love for the gospel without shame; suggests that there is already wrath of God for wickedness in mankind; condemns unnatural sexual behavior; argues that believers can be saved and join Jesus through faith; describes how believers should love; and more.
While Protestants interpret Paul’s letter to mean that salvation comes from faith and not from righteous actions, Roman Catholics accept the need for faith but also the need to live a virtuous life. In any case, Romans has been at the center of several major movements.
