Pastoral Epistles

First Timothy, Second Timothy, and Titus address the ordering, teaching, leadership, perseverance, and mission of the church. Together they give sustained attention to sound doctrine, faithful ministry, qualifications for church leadership, care for the congregation, godly living, suffering, perseverance, and the transmission of the apostolic message.

This full-length commentary treats each letter on its own terms while also attending to their shared historical, theological, and pastoral concerns, including the major questions surrounding authorship, church order, false teaching, and the relationship of doctrine to Christian life.
