There is only one epistle to an individual that most New Testament scholars believe to be a genuine epistle written by Paul: his Epistle to Philemon.Nearly all New Testament scholars consider another three epistles attributed to Paul to be pseudepigraphical - written in Paul's name long after his death. These are 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus.
Where did Paul write the Epistles to Timothy?
The First Epistle to Timothy is traditionally thought to have been written by Paul from Laodicea. The Second Epistle to Timothy is traditionally thought to have been written by Paul from Rome. However, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, known (along with Titus) as the Pastorals because of their concern for the pastoral role of bishops in the second-century Church, are almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul. We do not really know who wrote them, or from whence they were written.
What does 2 timothy chapter 2 mean?
A:Second Timothy is an encyclical written in Paul's name during the first half of the second century, to address pastoral issues that had arisen and for that reason is known as a 'Pastoral epistle'. Chapter 4 is the concluding chapter, in which 'Paul' signs off and sends his greetings to the companions of Timothy, but first he tells Timothy news of others and mentions that he himself expects to die soon.As with all pseudepigraphical documents, we should not assume that the intended recipient really was Timothy. The personal touches in this chapter were clearly intended to convince readers that this epistle was really written by Paul, and not a forgery.
Did Paul write Second Timothy while in prison for the fourth time?
A:Traditionally, 2 Timothy has been believed to have been written by Paul while imprisoned in Rome. However, scholars say that both Epistles addressed to Timothy are clearly from the second century, and were not written by Paul. Since Second Timothy was not written by Paul, there is nothing to say it was written from prison.

What was Paul's last epistle?
A:We do not know who wrote Second Timothy, or just when, but it was written some time in the first half of the second century and was the last epistle attributed to Paul. Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the attribution to Paul of the epistles to Timothy (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy) is clearly fictional, for their language, style and thought are thoroughly un-Pauline. This is the consensus view of most New Testament scholars.That the epistle was written in the second century is demonstrated by references to the role of bishops, who begin to appear early in the second century. Its content fits nicely into the situation and thought of the church in the mid-second century. The Timothy epistles were not included in Marcion's list of Paul's letters (ca 140 CE), and quotations first appear in lrenaeus' Against Heresies, dated about 180 CE.Thus, 2 Timothy was not the last epistle actually written by Paul, but it was the last epistle written in his name.Another Answer:Yes. Paul identifies himself as the author in the opening greeting of the letter:2 Timothy 1:1King James Version (KJV) 2 Timothy 11Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,Additionally, many believe 2 Timothy was written during Paul's second imprisonment in Rome as noted in 2 Timothy (1:8, 16, 17; 4:6-13). Eusebius, a 4th Century historian stated that Paul was martyred during Emperor Nero's regime before 68 AD. As this letter was written immediately before Paul's death, it was probably written circa 67 AD.
Where is timothy mention in the Bible?
A:In 1 Thessalonians 1:1 and 3:2, 2 Corinthians 1:1 and Philemon 1, Paul refers to Timothy (Timotheus) as 'our brother', a term of respect for Timothy as a Christian and as a preacher. Paul refers to Timothy as a co-worker and personal messenger in several places in 1 Thessalonians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians and Romans.Acts of the Apostles expands somewhat on the role of Timothy with several references in Acts 16-20, including that his father was a Greek and his mother a Jew (Acts 16:1), but Acts has been re-evaluated by scholars in recent years and it is uncertain how reliable these reports are.The pseudo-Pauline epistle known as Colossians also refers to Timothy as 'our brother' (verse 1:1), but 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy refer to Timothy as Paul's 'son' (a departure from Paul's words in his genuine epistles).Hebrews 13:23 mentions that Timothy was free, but this was an addition to the epistle in order to improve its acceptance as having been written by the apostle Paul. New Testament scholars consider it beyond question that the Epistle to the Hebrews was not really written by Paul, so this comment has no historical basis.
What season was the Epistle to Timothy written?
A:The Epistle to Titus is one of the pseudo-Pauline epistles known as 'Pastoral Epistles', because they deal with pastoral issues that arose during the second century. It was written during the first half of the second century. By writing in Paul's name, the author was able to gain more ready acceptance of his message.

Who was the Epistle of Timothy written to?
There are actually two epistles to Timothy, generally known as 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy. Verse 1:1-2 of each epistle states that it was written by Paul to Timothy.However, there is almost universal acceptance amongst scholars that these epistles were not written by Paul, and were actually written early in the second century, possibly by followers of a Pauline school of Christianity. In this case, the Timothy epistles were not written to Timothy, but were really written to teach the members of the church, long after the death of Paul. In other words, they were written to the Christian Church as a whole, or at least to the Pauline school of Christianity.Another answer from our community:Timothy was one of the young converts to Christianity who accompanied Paul on some of his missionary journeys. He was a pastor in one of the new churches, and Paul was a mentor to him, hence the letter (epistle) written to him by Paul to help the young man with the orderly setting up and management of the church. Timothy was evidently a Godly man, as Paul makes mention of his genuine faith, inherited from his mother and grandmother. The letters are filled with personal references and mention of specific persons supposedly known to them both, all hallmarks of letters to a friend and junior fellow worker.
