Romans was written in AD 57 from which city?

• A. AD 70 from Jerusalem
• B. AD 50 from Antioch
• C. AD 57 from Corinth
• D. AD 30 from Tarsus

Answer: (C)

Romans was written around AD 57 while Paul was in Greece, most likely from Corinth. This conclusion fits the clues Paul gives in the letter itself, such as mentioning Priscilla and Aquila and the church that meets in their house, which connects to Corinth where they were based (Acts 18). The timing also aligns with Paul’s travel plans described in Romans, where he speaks of delivering aid to Jerusalem and then aiming to visit Rome, a sequence that fits the period after his stay in Greece during his third missionary journey. The combination of the personal connections and the travel itinerary points to Corinth as the place from which the letter was sent. Other dates and locations conflict with the known timeline of Paul’s travels and the people involved in the letter, so Corinth is the best-fitting answer.
