As Paul closes one of his greatest letters, it’s refreshing to end on a note that feels like a reunion. Paul hadn’t founded the church in Rome and was trying his best to visit, but he did know several people in the area. In the last chapter, he calls them by name. (Even his secretary gets a mention!) This is an important principle. Theology is important, and is orthodoxy. But people are also important, and people are what make the church a body. These are the people who really lived and worked and built this church.
