Romans: How God Saved the World, Part 01 - Paul, a Slave of King Jesus... (The Letter Opening)
"Paul, a slave of King Jesus, called to be an appointed messenger, set apart for the announcing of the news of God’s victory."
With these words Paul opened his letter to the church at Rome and set the course of Christian theology.
