Closely connected to Paul's letters to the Corinthian church was the letter he wrote to Rome while there in Corinth. There's not much Christian law here at all. Paul spends most of the letter wading through a lot of theology to correct some false impressions, but it seems his ulterior motive is to promote harmony between the Jewish and Gentile Christians in Rome. He points out that Jews have not been utterly rejected, but that they do have to come to the Cross to remain in covenant with God. Meanwhile, the Jews need to fully embrace Gentiles, and they must learn to recognize that God doesn't demand from Gentiles what He once demanded from Israel. Paul invests a good bit of explanation in the doctrinal emphases of otherworldly orientation, predestination, and feudal surrender to Christ.
