Near the beginning of his first Roman imprisonment, Paul wrote 3 letters to churches in Asia. The book of Colossians and Philemon were directed to the church in Colossae. But one half of the verses in Ephesians are also found in the letter to the Colossians, reflecting what was on Paul’s mind at the time. At the end of Colossians, Paul references a letter he wants the church to read that he wrote to the nearby church at Laodicea. Did Paul write a 4th letter? And do we actually have copies of that letter? We’ll examine this flurry of letters, and meet the chief personalities involved.
