The First and Second Letters to Timothy

The inaugural volume of the EERDMANS CRITICAL COMMENTARY series--an expert look at 1 and 2 Timothy, Scripture particularly relevant to the church today.

This new commentary provides a fresh, readable translation of 1 and 2 Timothy together with notes and commentary on this important section of Scripture. The authors show that, in addressing such contemporary topics as church leadership, the roles of women, the use of wealth, heterodoxy, worship, and ethics, these Pauline letters remain highly relevant to church life today. Their work not only offers the best of current scholarship on 1 and 2 Timothy but also demonstrates the high standard of excellence marking the ECC series.
