4-58. Third Missionary Journey. 57. 1 _Corinthians_ written at Ephesus; 2 _Corinthians_, in Macedonia; _Galatians_, at Corinth. 58. _Romans_ written at Corinth. Arrest at Jerusalem. 59. In prison at Caesarea. 60. Voyage to Rome. 62. _Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians_, written at Rome. 63. Release from prison. 67. 1 _Timothy_ and _Titus_ written. 68. In prison again at Rome. 2 _Timothy_. Death. With these may be compared some of Ramsay's dates--the conversion, 33; First Missionary Journey, 47-49; Second, 50-53; Third, 53-57; Voyage to Rome, 59, 60; Trial and Acquittal, 61; Second Trial, 67. Whereas Conybeare and Howson consider Galatians to have been written, in close conjunction with Romans, at Corinth during the Fourth Missionary Journey, Ramsay believes it to have been written at Antioch before this journey commenced; and, whereas the older authorities suppose it to be addressed to Galatians evangelized by Paul during the Second Missionary Journey, though no details of such a conquest are found in Acts, Ramsay holds the recipients of the Epistle to have been the churches in the interior of Asia Minor evangelized during the First Missionary Journey, the regions of Phrygia and Lycaonia in which these were situated forming at that time part of the Province of Galatia, the boundaries of which had been extended. This is the South Galatian theory, the fullest statement and defence of which will be found in Hastings' _Dictionary of the Bible_, vol. v. 15. The goat's-hair cloth was called "cilicium," from the name of the province. 16. Dean Howson's _Metaphors of St. Paul_. Also Hausrath, p. 15. 18. Compare the long lists of sins frequent in the Epistle. 23. Subject for class essay: Paul's First Sight of Jerusalem. 27. A startling picture of the state of society in Jerusalem might be constructed from the materials supplied in Matt. xxiii. 28. Detailed comparison of the experience of Paul with that of Luther: their early religious ideas; the state of religion around them; their failure to find peace and their sufferings of conscience; their discovery of the righteousness of God. On the religious associations of Paul's early life see the first 100 pages of Reuss' _Christian Theology in the Apostolic Age_. 31. On the history of Christianity between the death of Christ and the conversion of St. Paul see Dykes' _From Jerusalem to Antioch_. 34.
