Introduction to Romans

Ah... Here is the first of many letters written by the Apostle Paul to the fledgling regional churches.

Let me start by venting a bit about bias, it will make more sense here in a second. I have never understood why Paul's writings are not talked about with the same awe and poured over in academia with the writings of Socrates and Plato. I truly believe God has blessed Paul with this level of intellect. But, as a Christian, Paul's works have largely been relegated to study by theologians.

Now that that is out of the way, I challenge you to consider looking at this letter to Roman Christians in the light that Paul is not only instructing, but trying to spark conversation, and the desire for further study. After all, as Paul laments, Paul is unable to be in Rome to teach personally.

Sorry for the long introduction, but I wanted to sync our perspectives a bit.
