There is scholarly consensus that Paul writes the book of Romans near the end of his third missionary journey (56-57 A.D.), probably in 57 A.D.
Paul writes this letter from the home of Gaius (Romans 16:23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.), who apparently lived in Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;). Paul has been working on his project for collecting an offering for the Christians in Jerusalem (Romans 15:25-28). Collecting of this offering is mentioned in several New Testament letters, and Paul’s return to Jerusalem will eventually lead to his arrest there. Paul will eventually get to Rome as a prisoner, but this letter is written before he ever had the opportunity to visit there (Romans 1:13 “…that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you…”).
Although the Apostle had never been to Rome when he wrote the letter to the Romans, he had clearly expressed his desire to travel there in the near future (Acts 19:21 “…to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” Romans 1:10–11 “…Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;”).
Theme – The whole Gospel of God Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
