The role of women in the early Roman Empire is much different than the roles of women today. In the early Roman Empire‚ women were not given many rights‚ with Roman law not concerning women as equal to men. In the Roman Empire‚ women were not allowed to participate in the political areas either. Very few Roman women‚ mainly the wealthy and those with a high social status enjoyed the freedom on owning a business. For example‚ one Roman woman made lamps‚ while others conducted their own businesses

The Epistle to the Romans is one of the most crucial elements of the New Testament. St. Paul wrote this book on his third missionary journey to Corinth around 57 A.D. The whole intention of this letter was to edify and encourage the beloved Roman church; he knew he was called to remind them of “God’s plan and purpose in matters of saving sinners” (“What You Need”‚ 2010). In Romans 1-8‚ Paul uses the resources around him‚ such as the natural world‚ human identity‚ relationships‚ and culture‚ to relay

The origin of the Roman Church is historically obscure. There is no indication when or by whom the church in Rome was founded. Scholars theorize the founders were part of the Diaspora (Acts 8). This church already had a worldwide reputation by the time of Paul’s writing (1:8). Because Paul had been unable to visit the church‚ he writes a letter stating his intentions (1:13-15). There is no doubt; the author of Romans is Paul. He clearly states this in the opening verse‚ and the style and content

would say faith played a huge part of the story also. Oedipus rex was a tale of a man that had to overcome adversity through his journey. His parents left him as an infant and never looked backed. As the time went on he got older and wiser. When he got older an oracle told him that he was going to kill his father and impregnate his mother. These were the two main ironies portrayed in the story. The slaughter of Oedipus’ father‚ the incestual relationship with his mother‚ and his faith of being able
