Review Quotes: In this excellent commentary Fr. Benjamin Fiore, SJ, who was educated in Greek and Latin classics, Pauline literature, and ancient rhetoric (PhD, Yale, 1982), and is now president of Campion College, University of Regina, offers the best of contemporary historical and literary interpretation of the New Testament Pastoral Epistles. A devoted pastor himself, Fiore is adept at perceiving the pastoral interests in these letters. His tasty gourmet scholarship is spiced with valuable references to Jewish, classical, and patristic writers, and is noteworthy for its references to the ancient rhetoricians. Laid out in the Sacra Pagina format, with verse-by-verse exegesis, general interpretation, and up-to-date bibliography, it will be a very valuable tool for all serious students of the Bible. It is a fine achievement and very highly recommended for informed work on the Pastorals.Dennis C. Duling, Professor of Religious Studies & Theology, Canisius College, Bu
