Not true to say that all parts of scripture equally important. Matthew, john and romans quoted most frequently in early church developed most christian doctrine. Suggested that orthodox church, gospel of john most important. Matthew includes everything that mark has, but also added things, like sermon on the mount: matthew & john both gospels and stories. Romans most important non-narrative writing in christian church in nt. Works out christian theology & thought along with matthew & john. Paul was a controversial figure in 1st century some liked him a lot, some disliked him a lot (thought he was the apostle, or thought he was less superior). Paul more mature in romans (more mature statement of issues that arisen in earlier communications) In romans, this became a normal way of paul"s thinking/repertoire part of paul"s basic message, worked out from crisis in galatea.
