Overview

The apostle Paul is known for his doctrinally rich writing, but we should not overlook his concern for the practical. In his letters to Timothy and Titus--faithful younger men who had followed him into ministry--Paul has much to teach every one of us about godly leadership, sound teaching, and holy living. In this warm and pastoral commentary, Daniel Doriani and Richard Phillips show how the letters brim with the message of God's grace as it is practically applied, challenging us to embrace Paul's priorities and to remain faithful in suffering. They explore Paul's treatment of important doctrines such as election, predestination, assurance of salvation, and more. And they point us to Christ, who empowers us by his grace as we labor for his sake.

Godly living and faithful leadership require tremendous grace in this corrupt world. How is it possible? Doriani and Phillips give us solid expositions of the divinely inspired directions in Paul's second epistle to Timothy and his epistle to Titus. Read and grow, and use your gifts and prayers to promote godly leadership. --Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary In light of my absolute love for the Pastoral Epistles in general and 2 Timothy and Titus in particular, I was thrilled to hear that Dan Doriani and Rick Phillips have provided us with a commentary. Now, having reviewed it, I am astounded at its insights, clarity, and readability. Simply put, this volume is an invaluable research tool and, at the same time, a page-turner. Enjoy! --Harry Reeder, Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, AL Paul's letters to his pastoral apprentices and colleagues, Timothy and Titus, abound in wise, concrete counsel, grounded in the gospel of Christ. Who is better equipped to open up these pastoral messages than Doriani and Phillips, who are both seasoned pastors and scholars of Scripture? These expositions provide rich resources for preaching and teaching the Word, while they boldly and warmly challenge us to embrace the grace that yields godly living to God's glory. --Dennis E. Johnson, Professor Emeritus of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California Some Bible commentaries major in scholarship and minor in application; others major in application and minor in scholarship. This volume does neither. Instead, as the work of two experienced and esteemed pastor-scholars, 2 Timothy & Titus provides sound and in-depth treatment of the biblical text on the one hand, and a pathway to living out the text on the other. Whether for sermon preparation, group discussion, personal Bible study, or all three, Dan and Rick have done a remarkable job of providing a resource to help believers watch our lives and doctrine closely, that we might please the Lord and love our neighbors well--Scott Sauls, Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church, Nashville; author, Jesus Outside the Lines and A Gentle Answer Unobtrusive scholarship and pastoral passion are the earmarks of this volume in the Reformed Expository Commentary. It is fitting that the exposition of two of the Pastoral Epistles is by two experienced pastors. It is evident that both Doriani and Phillips are writing from experience and not just theory. The textual comments are clear and on point. The theology is edifying. The applications and illustrations are warm, pointed, and personal. Pastors, particularly, will find the volume valuable both for their own personal benefit and encouragement and for insight in how to preach the Pastoral Epistles effectively to their flocks--Michael Barrett, Vice President for Academic Affairs, Academic Dean, Professor of Old Testament, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary What a feast of good things the respective congregations of Doriani and Phillips listen to each week! These sermons on two of the Pastoral Epistles are superb examples of lectio continua expository preaching that informs the mind and ignites the affections. These two epistles cover some sensitive territory--pastoral correction, womanhood, purity, eldership, essence of manliness, to name just a few. These issues are handled with grace and fortitude. As seasoned preachers, Doriani and Phillips deftly manage to convince, correct, and challenge us all at once. Marvelously done. --Derek W. H. Thomas, Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, SC; Teaching Fellow, Ligonier Ministries; Chancellor's Professor, Reformed Theological Seminary
