WHEN DID THE APOSTLE PAUL WRITE HIS BOOKS?
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. In what year did Apostle Paul write his first book?
a) The apostle Paul holds a very unique place in the history, writing and finalizing of what we refer to today as the New Testament. The N.T. contains more information about Paul than any other person short of Jesus Christ himself. And, not only did he write fourteen out of twenty-seven books, he also was one of only eight people total (the others being Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James and Jude) whose writings appear in the New Testament.

b) What also makes Paul special was that he was one of only four people (the others being Peter, John, James) God entrusted to finalize (canonize) the last half of the Bible.
