What is the accepted order in which Paul is said to have written his epistles?

[tonychanyt]

There is no universally accepted order. The following is the estimate of Biblehub:

51 AD Paul Writes to the Thessalonians 1 Thess. 1 - 5

52 AD Paul Writes again to the Thessalonians 2 Thess. 1 - 3

54 AD Paul Writes to the Corinthians 1 Corinthians 1 - 16

54 AD Paul Writes to the Galatians Galatians 1 - 6

57 AD Paul Writes to the Romans Romans 1 - 16

57 AD Paul Writes again to the Corinthians 2 Corinthians 1 - 13

62 AD Paul Writes to the Ephesians Ephesians 1 - 6

62 AD Paul Writes to the Philippians Philippians 1 - 4

62 AD Paul Writes to the Colossians Colossians 1 - 4

62 AD Paul Writes to Philemon Philemon 1

63 AD Paul Writes to Timothy 1 Timothy 1 - 6

64 AD Peter Writes his First Letter 1 Peter 1 - 5

66 AD Paul Writes to Titus Titus 1 - 3

67 AD Paul Writes Again to Timothy 2 Timothy 1 - 4

For what it's worth:
I read William Ramsey's writings on Paul and Luke, and remembered he had Galatians as Paul's first letter. I didn't try to find it again, but I did ask chatGPT and it helped me with the details.

===============================
my question:
which year did William Ramsey deduce was the year Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians?

chatGPT says:

Sir William Ramsay, a renowned archaeologist and New Testament scholar, concluded that Paul wrote his Letter to the Galatians around A.D. 48–49.

Ramsay supported the South Galatian theory, which holds that Paul wrote the letter soon after his first missionary journey (recorded in Acts 13–14), before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15, around A.D. 49). Based on this, Ramsay dated the letter to just before or around the time of the council, which aligns with A.D. 48 or early 49.

========================================
my question:
how about the letter to the Romans church?


chatGPT says:

William Ramsay dated Paul’s Letter to the Romans to around A.D. 56–57.

He believed Paul wrote it while staying in Corinth, during his third missionary journey, just before heading to Jerusalem with the collection for the saints (Romans 15:25–26). This timing fits well with Acts 20, when Paul was in Greece for three months, likely Corinth, during the winter of A.D. 56–57.

So, according to Ramsay:

Galatians: A.D. 48–49 (early in Paul’s ministry)

Romans: A.D. 56–57 (near the end of his third missionary journey)
