The Location of Paul’s Imprisonment
The Location of Paul’s Imprisonment
As discussed above under the heading "Provenance,” the evidence is not conclusive for any locale. The result is that scholars weigh differently the location of Paul’s imprisonment, with supporters of each of the three centers contending vigorously for the place of their choice. But there is no consensus, nor apparently any likelihood of one. Other suggestions have been made, notably Corinth, 22 but none has won wide support. In the end we must probably say that the place of origin is an insoluble problem, given our present knowledge.
