Overview

This commentary examines Paul's Letter to Titus (Titus) in its historical context, where the apostle provides guidance to his colleague, Titus, on the island of Crete as to what he needs to do to establish newly formed churches. Titus is particularly concerned with the qualifications that leaders of the churches must have. It also gives ample directions as to the behaviour of the Cretan Christians in general. Additionally, this commentary considers the letter's important implications for the Church today concerning the essential elements of church leadership and the behaviour of Christians in general. Endorsement: Guy Manuell's commentary on Titus is concise, readable, well-researched, and informative. Because it moves easily from the original meaning of the text to its significance or application today, it is recommended reading for all pastors and teachers. Dr Daniel M. Doriani Professor of Biblical & Systematic Theology Covenant Theological Seminary St. Louis, Missouri, USA
