Excerpt from Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Epistle to the Romans: Designed for Bible Classes and Sunday Schools

Still further. When Paul wrote this epistle, he was about to depart for Jerusalem to convey a collection which had been made for the poor saints there, by the churches in Macedonia and Achaia, Rom. Xv. 25, 26. When he had done this, he intended to go to Rome, Rom. Xv. 28. Now, by looking at the Acts of the Apostles, we can determine when this occurred. At this time he sent Timotheus and Erastus before him into Macedonia, while he remained in Asia for a season, Acts xix. 22. After this, (acts xx. 1, Paul himself went into Macedonia, passed through Greece, and remained about three months there. In this journey it is almost certain that he went to Corinth, the capital of Achaia, at which time it is supposed this epistle was written. From thisplace he set out for Jerusalem, where he was made a prisoner; and after re maining a prisoner two years, (acts xxiv. He was sent to Rome about a.d. 60. Allowing for the time of his travelling and his imprisonment, it must have been about three years from the time that he purposed to go to J eru salem; that is, from the time that he finished the epistle, (rom. Xv. 25 to the time when he reached Rome, and thus the epistle must have been written about A. D. 57.
