Paulian Apistles

Galatians

48

Scholars agree that Galatians was written after Paul evangelized in South Galatia in 47AD and before the Jerusalem Council in 50AD so it was most likely written in 48AD.

Jerusalem Council

50

Council of Jerusalem was held in Jerusalem around AD 50. The Council main focus was to discus Christian ethics. Acts 15:6-35

1 & 2 Thessalonians

51

Most Scholars agree that Paul wrote both 1st and 2nd Thessalonians while he was in Corinth from 50-51AD

Paul's Intial Visit to Corinth

51

Paul's first visit to Corinth is thought to be from 50-51AD (Blair)

1 Corinthians

54

Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians addressing issues that came up after his missionary visit in 51AD. (Blair)

2 Corinthians

55

Some Scholars believe Paul wrote to the Corinthians for a second time when he was in Macedonia. (Blair) Most Scholars agree that 1st and 2nd Corinthians were witter a year apart.

Romans

57

Many Scholars believe that Paul wrote the book of Romans during his third visit in Corinth and before he was arrested at the Jerusalem temple and brought to Rome.

Paul's Third Visit To Corinth

57

Paul's third visit to Corinth was mentioned in 2 Corinthians 12:14 - 13:1 and in Acts 20:2-3. Most Scholars agree that this was most likely around 56-57AD

Paul Arrested and Brought to Rome

58

Many Scholars agree that in the Spring of 58AD, Paul was arrested at the Jerusalem temple and brought to Rome. Paul was in prison for about 2 years between 58-61AD

Colossians, Ephesians, & Philemon

60

Many Scholars that I found agree that Colossians, Ephesians, & Philemon were written while Paul was imprisoned in Rome around 58-60AD. A large number of Scholars agree that 60AD was the most probable date for these 3 books.

Philippians

61

Many Scholars that I found say that Paul wrote Philippians near the end of his imprisonment in Rome around 61AD.

1 Timothy & Titus

62

During my research I believe that 1 Timothy & Titus were written between Paul's first and second imprisonment, because he doesn't mention being imprisoned in either of the Epistles. He dose how even mention being imprisoned in 2 Timothy.

2 Timothy

64

"The time for my departure has come" 2 Timothy 4:6. During Paul's imprisonment he wrote to Timothy for the second time. Paul knew he was going to be put to death and wanted to warn Timothy.

Rome Burns and Paul's 2nd Imprisonment

64

"Fire consumes much of Rome as a result anyone considered a leader of the Christians in Rome would be subject to arrest and death." (Wilson 10.4) So it is likely this is the reason that Paul was imprisoned for a second time.

Paul's Death

65

Experts range Paul's death between 64-68AD during the reign of Nero. I found a few articles stating that he most likely died between 64-65AD. (Wilson 10.4)
