Titus

Julie Calio Season 56 Episode 1

Titus was a Greek Christian who was a disciple of Paul. In Galatians 21-5, we learn that he traveled with Paul and Barnabas to Jerusalem, and was not compelled to be circumcised. He ministered to the church at Corinth, and during the time of this letter, Paul left him on the Island of Crete, so that he would set the churches in order there and appoint elders in every city (1:5). Titus is not mentioned in the book of Acts. This letter was probably written around AD 61-64 between Paul's two imprisonments in Rome. The main points of this letter was church organization, duties of all people, both old and young. Paul stressed that Christians should be subject to authorities, do good deeds, reject divisive people after they are warned two times, and then he ends with personal concerns and greetings.
