Paul The Apostle
Paul The Apostle (?-68AD) was a sovereign grace Baptist preacher. He was appointed by Christ to serve as an Apostle, sent out to the wider regions of the world ministering the gospel primarily to the Gentiles. He is the author of fourteen New Testament letters—1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Romans, Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, Philippians, 1 Timothy, Titus, Hebrews and 2 Timothy.

The Second Letter Of Paul To The Church At Corinth
I believe the second letter of Paul to the church at Corinth was written in the year 57AD, making it the fourth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “This epistle, according to the subscription at the end of it, was written from Philippi of Macedonia; and though the subscriptions annexed to the epistles are not always to be depended on, yet it seems very likely that this was written from thence; for the apostle not finding Titus at Troas, as he expected, went into Macedonia, where he met with him, and had an account from him of the success of his…

The Letter Of Paul To The Churches At Galatia
I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Galatia was written in the year 58AD, making it the fifth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “The persons to whom this epistle is written were not such who made up a single church only, in some certain town or city, but were such of which several churches consisted, in a region or country called Galatia, as is evident from (Galatians 1:2) and the members of these churches seem to be chiefly, if not altogether Jews, since the apostle includes them with himself; as having been under the law, under tutors…

The Letter Of Paul To The Church At Rome
I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Rome was written in the year 58AD, making it the sixth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “Though this epistle is in order placed the first of the epistles, yet it was not first written: there were several epistles written before it, as the two epistles to the Thessalonians, the two to the Corinthians, the first epistle to Timothy, and that to Titus: the reason why this epistle stands first, is either the excellency of it, of which Chrysostom had so great an esteem that he caused it to be read…

The Letter Of Paul To The Churches At Ephesus
I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Ephesus was written in the year 62AD, making it the seventh of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “The city of Ephesus is, by Pliny, called the other light of Asia; Miletus was one, and Ephesus the other: it was the metropolis of the lesser Asia, and one of the twelve cities of Ionia, and the first and chief of them: it is said to be built by the Amazons: it was famous for the magnificent temple of Diana; and the inhabitants of it were very much given to superstition and idolatry,…

The Letter Of Paul To The Churches At Colosse
I believe the letter of Paul to the churches at Colosse was written in the year 62AD, making it the eighth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “The Colossians, to whom this epistle is written, were not the Rhodians, by some called Colossians, from Colossus, the large statue of the sun, which stood in the island of Rhodes, and was one of the seven wonders of the world; but the inhabitants of Colosse, a city of the greater Phrygia, in the lesser Asia, near to which stood the cities of Laodicea and Hierapolis, mentioned in this epistle. Pliny speaks of it…

The Letter Of Paul To Philemon
I believe the letter of Paul to Philemon was written in the year 62AD, making it the ninth of his fourteen epistles. The chart below provides a bird’s-eye view of the chronological order for the books of the New Testament. John Gill, “Commentary On The New Testament Scriptures”: “This epistle was written by the Apostle Paul, when a prisoner at Rome, as appears from its inscription and subscription; and seems to have been written at the same time, in the year 60, and sent by the same hand, as the epistle to the Colossians; seeing the same persons were with the apostle at the writing of both, and send their Christian salutations in the one, as in the other; compare (Philemon 1:23,24) with (Colossians 4:10,12,14)…
