     1 Corinthians, is one of Paul’s longer books.  The Church in Corinth was established by Paul in about 51-52 AD (Acts 18).
     Paul wrote the book of 1 Corinthians in about 56-57 AD along with “
Sosthenes our brother” (1 Corinthians 1:1) from the city of Ephesus.  It is addressed to the “church of God which is at Corinth” (1 Corinthians 1:2) and he refers to the Christians there as “saints.
     It deals with the topic of solving division and disorderly conduct.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Romans, along with Galatians has been misunderstood by many.  Martin Luther, John Wesley, and others have come to this book with preconceived ideas and left it with what they thought was “support” for their false doctrines.  But coming to Romans with an honest and sincere heart, open to the will of God, one comes away understanding the relationship that we have with Christ.  The righteousness of God is seen in this letter and as Romans 6 shows it is through baptism that we enter the newness of life that we must have to be saved.
     Paul here is writing to congregations in the city of Rome that he has never visited, but shows in chapter 16 that he is not unfamiliar with a number of Christians in the city.  Paul describes himself as a “
bond-servant of Christ Jesus” and as “an apostle” in Romans 1:1.
     This letter was probably written from Corinth in about 57-58 AD and ties in with Acts 19-23.  As noted in Galatians, Paul wrote that letter himself, but a more common method would have been for Paul to use a writer to record as he spoke the message.  At least that is what seems to be the case here as we note in Romans 16:22.
