Romans Chapter 16
IN THIS LESSON
At the end of Romans, we find a list of names. How many Christians are mentioned in this section? Who is Phoebe, and what role does she play here? What does this long list of people reveal about early Christianity? Do you recognize any of these names from elsewhere in the Bible? From this list, how large was the church in Rome? What does their seemingly small beginning tell us about Christian witness?
