In various ways a Jew, a Greek, and a Roman, Saint Paul (c.4 B.C. – A.D. c.64) wrote his letter to the Romans towards the end of his third missionary journey, probably A.D. 57 and probably from Corinth. In this, the most systematic theological treatise in the Bible, which has Hellenistic Judaism as background, we find the themes of natural law and moral responsibility, free will and predestination, along with the good news of a different kind of King who rules over a different kind of empire. We also hear the demands of a covenantal love intent on universal reconciliation.
