In this episode of the Take Up The Sword Podcast, Ryan moves beyond Pauls's opening salutation and into the introduction of why the apostle wrote the letter, looking at the motives behind why Paul is writing, how he had longed to visit the Roman church for some time, and the over-arching theme of the entire Epistle.
