The book of Titus is a letter written by Paul to Titus. Titus was a Gentile believer who traveled and served with Paul, was trained by Paul, and was instructed by Paul to stay in Crete (the southern island of Greece) to serve and minister. He was stationed there to appoint godly leaders and encourage believers to live counter-culturally to ensure the beauty and purity of the Church (God’s people) to the culture around them.
