. Paul wrote this letter while staying in Corinth around AD 55-57, using a scribe named Tertius who added his own greeting at the end of the letter (Romans 16:22)
. Paul's authorship of Romans is widely accepted by biblical scholars and early Christian writings, with no serious dispute regarding its Pauline origin
. The letter was addressed to the Christian church in Rome and aimed to explain salvation through the gospel of Jesus Christ, addressing both Jewish and Gentile believers in the community
. In summary, the Apostle Paul is the author of the book of Romans, having written it as a theological and pastoral letter to the Roman Christians while he was in Corinth in the mid-first century AD
