The 1015 - Reading Romans Backwards

Paul's gospel to the church(-es) at Rome was written to a specific people at a specific time, for a specific reason. Who were the people to whom it was written? What was their situation and to what circumstance was Paul writing into? Why did this message matter to them, and what does it mean for us? Our main texts this week will be Romans 16:1-18 and Romans 1:1-17.
