The Book of Romans is a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the Christian community in Rome, likely around AD 56–58. Paul, a key leader in the early church, wrote Romans while in Corinth, addressing a diverse group of Jewish and Gentile believers he had not yet met in person.

Romans stands out as one of the most influential writings in Christian history. Paul carefully lays out the core message of the gospel—how all people, regardless of background, are in need of God’s grace and how salvation is available through faith in Jesus Christ. The letter explores important themes such as sin, grace, faith, justification, and the new life empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Romans is also known for its practical teaching on how to live out this faith in daily life, emphasizing unity, humility, and love within the Christian community. Many readers have found its message both intellectually rich and personally transformative.
