who wrote romans

The Book of Romans was written by the Apostle Paul around 55-58 AD. It is an epistle, or letter, addressed to the Christian church in Rome. Paul wrote it while likely staying in Corinth, using the help of a scribe named Tertius to transcribe the letter. The letter was intended to explain salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ and to prepare the Roman Christians for Paul's planned visit. It addresses both Jewish and Gentile believers in the church and deals with themes such as justification, salvation, and Christian living
