See what The Evangelical Study Bible has to teach us about the book of Romans:
“Romans has been recognized by Christians throughout the centuries as one of the most profound and prolific expressions of the gospel message ever produced. While not intended to serve as a comprehensive manual of Christian doctrine, it does contain some of the most thorough treatments of the doctrine of salvation contained in the New Testament.
From his epistle, we learn that Paul wrote in order to introduce himself to the church in Rome and to prepare them for his intended visit. In addition, he sought to address conflicts that had begun to form, many of which were the result of Jewish and Gentile divisions. his treatment of the doctrine of salvation, the status of Israel and the relationship between Jews and Gentiles, and his practical instruction provided his readers with an overview of the message he proclaimed and theological insight that related to their current situation and relationship to one another.”
