This Epistle was written during a brief stay of three months at Corinth, during Paul’s third missionary journey. The time of writing this letter is thought to be around 58 AD. The book of Romans is considered the great dogmatic epistle, and in it Paul gives an exposition of the Gospel in a systematic way that is widely recognized as the outstanding source of Christian doctrine in the Bible. One of the great doctrines of this epistle is that of justification by faith. Justification indicates that a person is freed from the penalty of their sin through faith, and they are accepted by God as worthy of being saved. In this epistle Paul indicates that the only way this can happen is for the sinner to stand in the righteousness of Christ, and have his sin atoned for: then it is as if the sin had not been committed.
