How important is the book of Romans?
The book of Romans is one of the most important books of the Bible. Its importance is underscored by the fact that this epistle was entrusted to a woman, Phoebe, to get it where it was supposed to go. Paul commends her as a servant of the church who helped many, including himself.
Les teaches that Romans is one of the most important books of our Bible. In Romans 16, he notes there is not a lot of doctrine unless women’s role in Christian service is considered doctrinal, and he says it is. Paul commends at least eight women who helped him in the ministry. The epistle was entrusted to Phoebe, a servant of the church, to get it where it was supposed to go; Paul asks the saints to receive and assist her because she had been a succorer of many, including himself.
