Bible Question: When was the book of Romans written |
Bible Answer: Greetings Gasejo! Here is what the Bible Knowledge Commentary says about when Romans was written. *************************** Though Paul never named the city, it is obvious that he wrote this letter from Corinth, Cenchrea (16:1) being its eastern harbor. The letter was written at the close of Paul?s third missionary journey during the ?three months? he was in Greece (Acts 20:3) just before his return to Jerusalem with the offering from the churches of Macedonia and Achaia for the poor believers there (Rom. 15:26). After leaving Corinth, Paul was in Philippi during the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Acts 20:6) and desired to reach Jerusalem by Pentecost (Acts 20:16). The letter was written, therefore, in the late winter or early spring of a.d. 57 or 58. ************************** I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
