The Pastoral Epistles (Overview)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
This overview explores the Pastoral Epistles written by Paul, focusing on their distinct vocabulary and their significance in the early church. The term "pastoral epistles" emerged in the early 1700s to refer to letters addressed to leaders like Timothy and Titus who oversaw congregations. While these letters differ in vocabulary from Paul's other writings, they contain important insights on leadership and Christian faith. The speaker examines historical contexts, disputes over authorship, and themes such as faith and knowledge, shedding light on the enduring relevance of the Pastoral Epistles.
