Chapter 10 : Romans

Edict of Claudius: a decree was made by Emperor Claudius in AD49 that all Jews must leave Rome. This edict, mentioned in Acts 18:2, turned the mostly Jewish Christian church at Rome into a mostly Gentile Christian church overnight. In AD54 the Edict ended when Claudius died, and Jewish Christians began to filter back to Rome. But the church had changed dramatically, and so conflict arose between "weak" Jewish and "strong" Gentile believers that threatened the unity of the Church. Paul deals with this conflict in Romans 14 when he writes Romans in AD57.

Tertius: Paul's scribe or secretary (better know as an "amanuensis") who actually wrote out Romans as Paul dictated it to him. His name appears in Rom 16:22.

When pagans at Ephesus came to Christ they did not need their magic anymore to protect them from demons and evil spirits and so they burned their scrolls: all 2.4 million dollars worth (Acts 19:19)!
