About this video

Runtime: 18 mins

N.T. Wright introduces the main themes in the book of Romans. Paul likely wrote the epistle in the mid-50s AD, addressing a divided Roman church. Paul intended to make Rome his new base for westward missions but recognized the church's internal tensions, particularly between Jewish and Gentile Christians. He urged unity through the gospel, emphasizing that cultural differences, like dietary laws, should not divide the church. Central to Romans is the theme of God's righteousness, which Paul ties to God's covenant faithfulness, as revealed through Christ's death and resurrection, fulfilling promises to Abraham and forming a global family of believers.
