Reformation Heritage Bible Commentary: Timothy / Titus / Philemon

About this Volume

The four letters in this volume are written to individuals: Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. They were church leaders that needed guidance and assurance in their ministry. Yet, these letters are for the entire Church. The Church can see and hear God’s loving-care in these letters, each one pointing to Jesus. While the teachings in these letters can, at times, seem counter cultural, you can be assured that they are indeed the inspired Word of God, and they are written in love for all who read them.

About the Series

The Reformation Fathers revitalized the Church with their influential biblical interpretations and application through reading, studying, translating, and preaching God’s Word.

This lay-level commentary helps you study the New Testament in a deep and meaningful way with commentaries and devotional warmth wrapped in an English Standard Version (ESV) and King James Version (KJV) translation. Both translations are kept side by side to showcase the historical and classic KJV translation alongside the more modern ESV.
