Description
Excerpt from S. Paul's Epistle to the Romans: Illustrated From Divines of the Church of England
It is probable, that, according to the most ancient order, dating as early as the time of Irenæus in the second century, this Epistle was placed before all the other Epistles of S. Paul, though it was not written before them all. It owes this precedence, in the first place, to the fact of its being addressed to a Church, planted in the Imperial city, the great centre of power, knowledge, and civilization at that period; for we may apply to the Apostle's writings what Bengel observed of his presence - Paulus Romœ apex Evangelii. But, examining its internal merits, we find it has still stronger claims to this pre-eminence.
