Lesson Transcript
This is the interesting thing: it wasn't until 1810 that a Western city, perhaps any city, ever again reached a population of 1 million. And that was the city of London. So it gives you just an idea of just how amazing this city was when Paul writes a letter to the Romans. It wasn't like when he was writing to the Colossians or something like this. This was a little on a different scale. This was a huge place that so much of the world looked up to.
