The Apostle Paul is the writer of the book of Ephesians. Paul first preached at Ephesus on his second missionary journey. He later returned to Ephesus on his third missionary journey.

A very successful church was established at Ephesus, of which Timothy was ordained the first bishop. This church became a dominant force in the Christian world at that time.
Paul’s letter to the Ephesians was more than likely a letter that was meant to be circulated to all the churches in this Roman province.
Where was Ephesus?
Ephesus was the chief city of the Roman province of Asia, in what is modern day Turkey. Through this strategic city, Paul was able to spread the Gospel to almost all of Asia.
Ephesus was the main commercial center of Asia Minor. The Romans made it the capital of proconsular Asia. It was located at the mouth of the Cayster, about thirty-five miles southeast of Smyrna.
Ephesus had a major harbor on the Aegean Sea. Many famous orators and philosophers lived there, rivaling the city of Athens.
In A.D. 263, Ephesus was destroyed by the Goths, and it never regained its former glory. The ruins of this once bustling city lie near the modern-day Turkish city of Seljuk.
