Book of Titus

Titus is the name of a book in the New Testament of the Bible. In many Christian Bibles, Titus is divided into 3 chapters and is ordered as the 17th of the 27 books in the New Testament. The following is from J.B. Tidwell's The Bible Book by Book, published in 1916.

We do not know much of the work of Titus. But from Gal. 2:1-5; 2 Cor. 2:12-13; 7:2-16, and Titus 1:5 and 3:12 we learn: (1) that he was a Gentile whom Paul carried to Jerusalem, (2) that by the liberty of the gospel the Jerusalem council did not require him to be circumcised. (3) that he a capable and an energetic missionary, (4) that Paul had left him in Crete to finish the work which he had begun there.

The book is written to counsel Titus concerning the work Paul had left him to do (1:5). It contains: (1) the qualifications of the presbyters to be selected; (2) the method of dealing with false teachings; (3) instructions to the different classes of the church; (4) exhortations to Titus himself.

Probably written from Macedonia, A. D. 66.
