This article summarises the various hypotheses regarding the purpose of Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, but also examines the Epistle’s connection with Paul’s speech to the Ephesian elders in Miletus. This speech can be dated just a few months later than Romans and contains remarkable parallels to it. This article argues that Romans is only partially explicable in terms of the situations of Paul and the recipients, and that it represents in compact form the quintessence of the ‘whole counsel of God’ (Acts 20:27) that Paul preached.
