Written by Paul. Again, Paul's Inscription is on all thirteen of his letters.
II. TO WHOM IT WAS WRITTEN:
To Titus who was overseeing the churches on the Island of Crete (160 miles long, 35 miles wide, located south of the Aegean Sea).
So here we have Paul, who in his first imprisonment in Rome, he's released, and he comes down and travels through, and he and Titus travel through the island of Crete and preach the gospel there.
Paul leaves to go back up into Asia, but he leaves Titus behind. And he goes up into Asia and leaves Timothy there in Ephesus. He travels up into Macedonia, and it is believed that both 1 Timothy and Titus were written from Corinth.
So, Titus was already left behind in Crete. And this letter is written to him there. The people of the island of Crete, they were barbarians. They were superstitious. They were cultic in their practices. If you were a liar, or a drunkard, or a lazy bum, you were called a Cretian, even if you didn't live in Crete because that's what it meant.
The people of Crete were known for their riotous living. And when you're on an island and the whole island is guilty of that kind of pagan lifestyle, it makes for a very difficult environment.
The gospel was preached there. People believed and received Christ, but they continued in their pagan lifestyles. And they brought it into the church.
