When I began the study and research into this project, I soon realized that this wasn’t as easy as it sounded! There are many differing opinions as to the order in which Paul’s letters were written and the timing of the various events in Acts. When you put something in print, however, it’s like putting a stake in the ground and announcing, “This is where I stand!” I re
