1 & 2 Timothy
Author: Paul
Period: c.63-65, c.67 A.D
Summary: Both letters were written by Paul from Rome during his imprisonments. Paul gives Timothy encouragement and reminds him of the work at hand. He reveals his fears to Timothy of the dangers within the church and lends advice for godly conduct of all individuals. The two letters to Timothy, along with Paul's letter to Titus, are often called the Pastoral Epistles due to the nature of their material.
