A CHRONOLOGY OF
PAUL’S LIFE
AS RECORDED IN ACTS AND THE PAULINE CORPUS
The Pauline Epistles class at Williams Baptist College compiled this chronology of Paul. Our purpose is to provide a comparative chronology of Paul’s life based upon the scriptural accounts found in Acts and the Pauline Corpus. We have included links to various bibliographic and electronic resources. Please keep in mind that this site is the product of an undergraduate-student committee. The opinions and ideas do not necessarily reflect the opinions and ideas of the instructor or Williams Baptist College. The goal of the project was “to learn and explore” not to develop a final authority on Pauline Chronology. Your comments about this project are welcome HERE.
