Summary This twenty-second volume of the Believers Church Bible Commentary series sets forth recent scholarship on Paul's instructions to Timothy and Titus. Christian theology and ethics are applied to the political, philosophical, religious, and cultural issues that early Christians faced as the church reached out in mission in Ephesus and on the island of Crete. This commentary also shows how the themes in 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus have been interpreted and applied in the history of the church, especially the believers church. The interpretive process includes both a vertical reading of each book separately and a horizontal reading of the themes found in all three letters. --From publisher's description
