The First and Second Letters to Timothy, Volume 1

The inaugural volume of The Eerdmans Critical Commentary series offers the best of current biblical scholarship on Paul’s letters to Timothy. 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.
