Which letters came after Paul's original ministry in Les Feldick's survey of Paul's epistles?
Following Paul's original ministry in Asia Minor, Greece, and Corinth, the survey lists Romans, the Corinthian letters, and Galatians, then the prison epistles Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. First and second Thessalonians are treated as an additional segment of Paul's church epistles before Ephesians.
Les explains that before beginning Ephesians, he covers one more segment in the unfolding of Paul's church epistles: first and second Thessalonians. He then recalls coming through Paul's original ministry among Asia Minor, Greece, and Corinth, followed by the letter to the Romans, the letters to the Corinthians, and the letter to the Galatians. Beginning with Acts 28, Paul writes from prison what are called the prison letters or prison epistles—Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians—which are a jump up doctrinally in depth and understanding from the earlier letters.
