Summary

There are substantial reasons to be energized about studying the Pastoral letters of Paul. Between them they teach the proper ordering of the church (1 Timothy), present a developed challenge to all Christians (2 Timothy), and suggest God's priorities for mature ministry (Titus). Experienced pastors R. Kent Hughes and Bryan Chapell have done their homework-methodically exegeting Paul's letters, mining the significance of his words in their context, and applying sound hermeneutical principles in interpreting the texts so that we understand what Paul was really saying. Teaching on important matters for the local church, Hughes and Chapell offer a timely word to the many Christians who are interested in studying the Bible. 1 & 2 Timothy and Titusis now being printed with a fresh look and is written by pastors for pastors, as well as for all who teach or study God's word.
