SILAS (fl. A.D. 50)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 89 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SILAS (fl. A.D. 50) , early Christian prophet and missionary, was the companion of St
Paul
  on the second journey, when he took the place formerly held by Barnabas. The tour included S.
Galatia
 , Troas,
Philippi
  (where he was imprisoned), Thessalonica and Beroea, where Silas was left with Timothy, though89
he afterwards rejoined
Paul
  at
Corinth
 . He is in all probability the
Silvanus
  ' who is associated with Paul in the letters to the Thessalonians, mentioned again in 2 Cor. i. 19, and the bearer and amanuensis of 1
Peter
  (see v. 12). It is possible, indeed, that he has an even closer connexion with this
letter
 , and some scholars (e.g. R. Scott in The Pauline Epistles, 1909) are inclined to give him a prominent place among the writers of the New Testament.. He was of Jewish
birth
  and probably also a Roman citizen.
