An Investigation of the Mission Motif in the Letters to Timothy and Titus with Implications for the Pauline Authorship of the Pastoral Epistles

This exploration of the mission motif in the Pastoral Epistles (here called “Letters to Timothy and Titus” [LTT]) fills an often-neglected gap in scholarship on these letters.

Paul the Mentor

Paul the Mentor While Paul preached the gospel everywhere he went and planted numerous churches, perhaps his most important contribution was mentoring men such as Timothy and Titus. Many believe Timothy and Titus were pastors of local congregations. More likely these men served, however, as Paul’s apostolic delegates who were temporarily assigned to their locations… Read More
