Description: The Pastoral Epistles (Titus, 1-2 Timothy) and Polycarp to the Philippians are uniquely similar among early second-century Christian texts. This dynamic rather than literal translation by Pervo of this collection remains true to the everyday Greek original, and includes the Greek text, notes, and an introduction.
Review Quotes: "A thoughtfully and beautifully laid out volume by a scholar widely considered one the most trustworthy guides to the transmission of the Pauline legacy. The introductions are straightforward, clear, and judicious, followed by the texts and Pervo's readable, clever, even entertaining translations. . . . A sympathetic but critical treatment of these important texts, presented in a most enjoyable way." -Dennis R. MacDonald, Claremont School of Theology
