2 Timothy: Intro.

Authorship: Paul.

Date: 67 A.D., shortly before Paul’s death.

Audience: Timothy, who was still in charge of many churches and needed Paul’s encouragement and guidance.

Genre: Personal letter.

*aha!: Paul wrote this from his imprisonment in Rome. And it was clear to see that he was lonely and recognized that he was near the end of his earthly life. Yet despite groveling in his own circumstances, he continued to support and offer encouragement to Timothy. He urged all to persevere in their faith.
