As far as the chronological order can be followed at all, it is generally conceded to be about as follows: 1. I and II Thessalonians, A. D. 50, 51. 2. I and II Cor., Gal., Rom., A. D. 55, 56. 3. Phil., Col., Eph., Philemon, A. D. 60, 61. 4. 1 and 2 Tim., Titus, A. D. 64, 65. As implied above, there is some variation in these dates among authorities on the Epistles.
