Summary

In this sequel to their previous volume, Called to Be Church: The Book of Acts for a New Day, pastoral leader Anthony Robinson and biblical scholar Robert Wall expound Paul's two pastoral letters to Timothy, which contain crucial messages for churches today. Featuring both careful exegetical study and dynamic contemporary exposition, Called to Lead interprets the text of 1 and 2 Timothy as Scripture and applies it to today's church - without shying away from vexing issues such as the church's use of money, leadership succession, pastoral authority, and the role of Scripture.
