Description:
When you need to know how to do something, a manual is the best place to start. 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus might be called "the Teacher's Manual," because so much of what they contain is about the kind of teaching that Christian leaders should--andshouldn't--be giving. Just as Timothy and Titus needed help to lead their young churches well in the midst of powerful cultural forces, we need guidance for correct leading and living in our own context. These studies on Paul's letters point us in the right direction.
This guide by Tom Wright can be used on its own or alongside his New Testament for Everyone commentary on 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. It is designed to help you understand Scripture in fresh ways under the guidance of one ofthe world's leading New Testament scholars. Thoughtful questions, prayer suggestions, and useful background and cultural information all guide you or a group more deeply into God's Word. Discover how you can participate more fully in God's kingdom.
