Author Description

Gordon D Fee Provide a clear, incisive, line-by-line commentary was convenient aids to give readers a solid understanding of Paul’s pastoral epistles. He offers a unique reconstruction of the historical situation that prompted the Apostle to write them, and shows how each section of each letter vigorously and consistently response to that situation. This lucid and helpful approach sheds new light on the details of the individual verses, while placing each in the context of the appropriate paragraph in the argument as a whole. Fee discuss similarities and differences between the epistles, presents a solid case for their Pauline authorship (while examining carefully the difficulties involved), shows how they function as church documents in direct reputation of false teachers - whom he identifies for the first time as wayward elders in the Ephesian church. The author reveals how these writings, address to two of Paul’s younger coworkers, have much to say about authentic Christian teaching, proper church organization, and correct Christian behavior - lessons as important to today’s church as to the congregations of Paul’s time.
