I posted a prayer request for this Bible study I’ll be hosting via zoom with my girlfriends- I’m super nervous lol.
I was hoping to have some background info as the intro to the study, so was wondering if anyone has any cool tidbits or takeaways from Romans? Or even the cultural part of the book?
I have that Paul wrote the book around 58ad while in Corinth, which was similar to our “sin city” in Vegas. The moral decay in that area was excessive.
I can gather info about Corinth, but not so much about where Paul was writing to? Was it to the Roman church set in Rome? I read Corinth was part of the Roman Empire, so that kind of confused me about the difference on churches.
also, would the city of Rome be like Corinth in the moral decay aspect? Were the believers greatly persecuted?
im always fascinated by background stories, or stories where God prevails when the atmosphere is so against Him...I just don’t want to be willing that to be the background story of Romans, so any tidbits would be greatly appreciated!
