An Epistle to an Apostle. REALLY?!Never heard of such a thing?! Just suppose for a moment ... weird as it may sound ... that a little-known young man named Titus, wrote a letter to the Apostle Paul.What would he write about? What might we learn from his writing? What sort of language expressions might he have used? Would he be flippantly expressive or respectfully fastidious? Why would he have written 'an epistle to an apostle' after all?This book is about considering all these questions and more. The author speculates that Titus did write, at least on one occasion; but just to keep readers on their toes, there is an unexpected twist in that premise. Did Titus write to Paul before he received Paul's letter, or did he write after receiving it?Consider the possibility that Titus, was somehow a time traveller from the future ... who just so happens to put in an appearance in the first century AD. Surely he would perceive the situation on the island of Crete from a very different worldview.
