Place Written: Macedonia (?)

Writing Completed: c. 61–64 C.E.

Paul’s letter appears to have been written shortly after he left Titus in Crete, most likely from Macedonia. (Titus 1:5; 3:12; 1 Tim. 1:3; 2 Tim. 4:13, 20) It seems to have served a purpose similar to that of First Timothy, namely, to encourage Paul’s colaborer and to give him authoritative backing in his duties.

4. When must the letter to Titus have been written, and what is the evidence for its authenticity?

⁴ Paul must have written the letter sometime between his first and his second imprisonment at Rome, or about 61 to 64 C.E.
