epistle The Book of Romans teaches about many different aspects of the world and how it has affected my worldview. Most importantly in this essay, we will discuss what Romans 1 – 8 teaches regarding the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. We will begin this journey with the discussion of The Book of Romans and the natural world. I would like to start off by saying that I truly believe that the Bible is the fallible
(Schultz) As Christians, we can figure out many of our common beliefs by searching through the Bible and reading about God’s truth. The Book of Romans does a wonderful job at addressing four beliefs of the Christian’s worldview: The Natural World, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

His knowledge and connection to antiquity is immediately apparent in this piece when he makes a comparison to the Roman lover of luxury Apicius.
