ANNALES SACRA

THE LIFE OF PAUL

Acts and the letters, on one timeline · Acts · the Pauline letters

Two tracks for two witnesses to the same life: above, the journeys as Luke narrates them in Acts; below, the letters Paul wrote along the way, each block set at the place and moment it was sent. Click a journey or a letter for its dossier; the diamonds on the spine are the turning-points. A dotted edge marks a date the sources leave genuinely open.

A note on this edition. Pauline chronology is reconstructed, not given — the one fixed peg is Gallio's proconsulship at Corinth (c. A.D. 51), from which the rest is counted forward and back. Dates here follow the common consensus. Two honest fault-lines: the date of Galatians (the early/South-Galatian view placed here, against the later view) and everything after Acts ends — the release, the final journeys, and the martyrdom rest on the Pastoral Epistles and church tradition, and are marked uncertain.
