This letter is more dogmatic (organized treatise on Christian Doctrine) than Paul's other letters - offering a broad summary of Christian doctrine. The doctrine of Justification takes center stage in this letter. Describes our sinful nature, and the depths of God's love and mercy and giving us an incredible insight into the mind of God. It helps answer some of those tough questions (why would God put a tree... knowing). To demonstrate that love... through Christ. Our summary verse is from Romans 5:8: “But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us!” – (HCSB)
