Epistle to the Romans

The Epistle of Paul to the Romans is the sixth book in the New Testament. Biblical scholars agree that it was composed by the Apostle Paul to explain that salvation is offered through the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the longest of the Pauline epistles and is considered his "most important theological legacy".

This Epistle of Paul to the Romans was probably written while Paul was in Roman Corinth, and probably while he was staying in the house of Gaius and transcribed by Tertius his amanuensis.1

It was obviously written when the “collection for Jerusalem had been assembled” and Paul was about to "go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints", that is, at the close of his second visit to Greece, during the winter preceding his last visit to that city.2

Jews were expelled from Rome because of Christian disturbances around AD 49 by the Edict of Claudius.^[1](Acts 18:2)

Jews had been expelled in 139 BC due to "aggressive missionary efforts" but also in AD 19 by Tiberius for much the same reason. The problem was that missionary work meant recruiting for the social welfare systems run though temples. There was big money in Religion.

While the Roman church was presumably founded by Jewish Christians, the exile of Jews from Rome in AD 49 by Claudius resulted in Gentile Christians taking leadership positions.

Paul the Apostle was born Saul the son of Prassede, his mother, and a wealthy Benjaminite of the republic of Tarsus, whose father had purchased the status of Rhomaios for himself and his descendants. Paul used his status as both a Rhomaios Jew from Celicia and Tarsus, his wealth but his relationship with his Roman official step father Pudentinus, his half brother Rufus and his imperially favored royal in-laws Claudia and Linus and Rufus Pudens and Claudia had his devout and courageous nieces Prassede and Pudenziana to his advantage in his ministry.

Footnotes

↑ "Since the Jews constantly made disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he [the Emperor Claudius, AD 41-54] expelled them from Rome." The expulsion event Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus refers to is necessarily later than AD 41, and earlier than AD 54. Suetonius was a Roman historian belonging to the equestrian order who wrote during the early Imperial era of the Roman Empire including a set of twelve biographies of successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian.
