Romans claims to have been written by Paul (Rom. 1:1), and there has been no serious challenge to this claim. Tertius, identified in Rom. 16:22, was probably Paul’s amanuensis or scribe. While Paul may sometimes have given his amanunses some freedom in choosing the wording of this letters, there is little evidence that this was the case in Romans. A few have wondered whether parts of Romans may have been written by someone else and incorporated into the letter by Paul, but none of these theories has proved convincing (see 8. Romans, INTEGRITY, LITERARY HISTORY, AND TEXT below).
