What was the religion of Ephesus?

Ephesus was a great port city in modern-day Turkey. There were many gods worshiped there, but Artemis/Diana the primary one: "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" Acts 19:28,34,35. Paul, the Apostle spent three years establishing the Christian church in Ephesus, and later sent Timothy there as the Pastor to keep the church on the right track spiritually. Acts 20:31; 1 Timothy 1:3-7. Ultimately the church shows up in the book of Revelation, having some struggle, because of lack of focus on it's first love for Christ. Revelation 2:1-7.

What are the names of the books that Paul wrote?

The Epistles of Paul. Of the fourteen epistles ascribed to Paul, seven -- Ephesians, Colossians, Second Thessalonians, First and Second Timothy, Titus, and Hebrews -- are conceded by some critics to be non-_Pauline while three others -- Philippians, First Thessalonians, and Philemon -- are generally classed as doubtful. Romans - 1 Corinthians - 2 Corinthians - Galatians - Ephesians - Philippians - Colossians - 1 Thessalonians - 2 Thessalonians - 1 Timothy - 2 Timothy - Titus - Philemon.

St. Timothy is the patron saint of:•against intestinal disorders•against stomach diseasesSt. Timothy has been regarded by some as the "angel of the church of Ephesus", Revelation 2:1-17. According to the ancient Roman martyrology he died Bishopof Ephesus. The Bollandists (24 Jan.) give two lives of St. Timothy, one ascribed to Polycrates (an early Bishop of Ephesus, and a contemporary of St. Irenæus) and the other by Metaphrastes, which is merely an expansion of the former. The first states that during the Neronian persecution St. John arrived at Ephesus, where he lived with St. Timothy until he was exiled to Patmos under Domitian. Timothy, who was unmarried, continued Bishop of Ephesus until, when he was over eighty years of age, he was mortally beaten by the pagans. According to early tradition Titus continued after St. Paul's death as Archbishop of Crete, and died there when he was over ninety.Timothy is the patron saint against intestinal disorders and against stomach diseases.
