"The Prison Letters will explore the four books written by Paul while in prison in Rome: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. According to the dating of the Apostle Paul’s second and third missionary journeys, he was probably arrested in Jerusalem about A.D. 58.  Festus kept Paul imprisoned in Caesarea for two years (Acts 24:27) before he appealed to Caesar and was placed on a ship for Rome. The voyage was interrupted by a shipwreck, so Paul reached Rome as a prisoner and began writing from there about A.D. 61 (or even A.D. 64). Acts 28:30-31 tells us Paul was imprisoned in Rome “two whole years.”  The Prison Epistles were written during this time."
