1.0 INTRODUCTION — THE CHURCH IN ROME
2.1 The history of Rome
2.2 The beginning of the Roman church
3.1 ORIGIN:
3.2 DID PETER FOUND THE CHURCH AT ROME?
4.1 He was still in Jerusalem at the time of the church Council. (c. 50 AD)
4.2 BUT Claudius banished Jews from Rome in AD 49 because there had been rioting at the instigation of one called Chrestus.
4.3 No reference in this Epistle to Peter
4.4 Acts 18:2-3 implies that Priscilla and Aquilla, who came from Rome, were already Christians when they arrived at Corinth and became companions of Paul.
If so, the church existed before AD 49, since Priscilla and Aquila were banished under the edict of Claudius.
But this date is before Peter moved to Jerusalem.
They were “in Rome,” but not of Rome — and, like all Christians of every century, they were “in Christ.”
