DESCRIPTION
The Pastoral Letters—1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus—have made an enduring contribution to understanding the role of pastors in the church. With a spirited devotion to the text, Robert Yarbrough helps unlock the meaning of these short but rich letters in this commentary.
In keeping with the character of Pillar New Testament Commentary volumes, The Letters to Timothy and Titus offers a straightforward reading of these texts. Their primary concerns—God, salvation, and the pastoral task—remain central to Yarbrough’s thorough and comprehensive exegesis. Engaging with the best scholarship and resources, Yarbrough shows how these letters are as relevant today as they were to the early Christians.
REVIEWS
Preaching
“Preachers already know this to be a series that is not only trustworthy but important. Every one of the volumes in this series has become one of the most important commentaries on the assigned biblical book, certainly from modern times. The same is true of this commentary. . . . Yarbrough is clear, unafraid, and genuinely helpful.”
Review of Biblical Literature
“Readable and comprehensible to those with limited exposure to Greek while still pointing toward larger scholarly arguments surrounding the Pastoral Epistles.”
Review of Biblical Literature
"[Heilig's] sophisticated and up-to-date discussion of methodology broadens the book’s relevance still further, and thus many others engaging in serious historical and exegetical scholarship on literature from the first-century Greco-Roman world will find valuable elements as well.
