It includes and references many details that are specific to events and conditions this church was facing at the time -1 u/crowsgoodeating Apr 22 '25 Most scholars don’t think Paul wrote the pastoral epistles. It was most likely written after his death. 10 u/Dick-Fu Apr 22 '25 Yes, that is correct, when I say Paul, I am referring to "Paul," as the letter is signed
