But that you might know what answers were intended by the questions, I have included them in these guides.  \nThese outlines were developed in the course of my ministry as a preacher of the gospel. They are included in The Executable Outlines Series, a collection my sermon outlines and Bible study materials. Visit the EO web site ([exeout.com](exeout.com)) to browse or download more material.

Copeland, 2001  \n[copeland@usa.com](copeland@usa.com)  \nMark A. Copeland  \nThe Epistle To The Romans  \nIntroduction  \nAUTHOR  \nPaul, the apostle (1:1). The authorship of this epistle has been universally accepted, even by heretical sects who did not like Paul. It is ascribed to Paul by Clement of Rome, Polycarp, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and many other writers in the early church. The internal evidence is also supportive of Paul as its author.  \nPLACE OF WRITING  \nCorinth, as evident from the greetings of Gaius, who lived at Corinth (16:23; 1 Co 1:14), and of Erastus, who had settled down there (16:23; 2 Ti 4:20). Also, Phoebe, who apparently accompanied  \nthe epistle (16:1-2), was from the church at Cenchrea, a \"suburb\" of Corinth.  \nTIME OF WRITING  \n57-58 A.D. ; while on his third journey (Ac 20:1-3), just prior to his arrival to Jerusalem with the collection for the needy saints (15:25-26; Ac 20:16; 24:17) .  \nBACKGROUND OF THE CHURCH AT ROME  \nNothing is revealed in the New Testament as to the start of the church in Rome. It is possible that visitors to Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost following the Lord's ascension were among the 3000 saved and later took the gospel with them back home (Ac 2:10). Or it could be that among those dispersed following Stephen's death were some that went to Rome and preached the gospel there (Ac 8:1-4) .  \nThe first we read of Christians from Rome is possibly that of Aquila and Priscilla, who along with all Jews were expelled from Rome by Claudius and were found by Paul at Corinth during his second journey (Ac 18:1-2). After travelling with Paul to Ephesus and working with the church there (Ac 18:18-19, 24-26; 1 Co 16:19), we find them back at Rome and hosting a church in their house  \n(16:3-5) .  \nFrom the greetings given by Paul in chapter sixteen, it appears that there were several churches in Rome meeting in various homes (16:5,14,15). The names of individuals would suggest that the Christians were primarily Gentiles, with a smaller number of Jews.  \nThe reputation of the Christians in Rome was widespread; both their faith (1:8) and obedience (16:19) were well known. For this reason Paul had long wanted to see them (15:23), with the goal of sharing in  \ntheir mutual edification (1:11-12) and to be assisted on his way to Spain (15:22-24) .  \nMark A. Copeland  \nPURPOSE OF WRITING  \nPaul expresses in this epistle that he had for some time planned to preach the gospel at Rome (1:13-15) and from there go on to Spain (","cbCaiqQTsdsoptHI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqQTsdsoptHI","pdf",119474,49,"English","# Introduction\n## Author\n## Place of Writing\n## Time of Writing\n## Background of the Church at Rome\n## Purpose of Writing\n## Theme: Romans 1:16-17\n## Brief Outline (adapted from Dextor Sammons)\n## Chapter One\n## Chapter Two\n## Chapter Three\n## Chapter Four\n## Chapter Five\n## Chapter Six\n## Chapter Seven\n## Chapter Eight\n## Chapter Nine\n## Chapter Ten\n## Chapter Eleven\n## Chapter Twelve\n## Chapter Thirteen\n## Chapter Fourteen\n## Chapter Fifteen\n## Chapter Sixteen","[{\"question\":\"Who is identified as the author of Romans in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide attributes authorship to Paul, the apostle, citing early church writers and internal evidence.\"},{\"question\":\"Where and when does the guide place the writing of Romans?\",\"answer\":\"It places the writing in Corinth, referencing greetings and related individuals, and dates it to 57–58 A.D. during Paul’s third journey.\"},{\"question\":\"What purpose and theme does the guide give for Romans?\",\"answer\":\"The purpose is to set straight the design and nature of the gospel amid disruptive teaching.
