RT Book T1 The Pastoral Epistles T2 The international theological commentary on the Holy Scripture of the Old and New Testaments A1 Bray, Gerald 1948- LA English PP London New York PB International Clark YR 2019 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1664713883 AB "This commentary offers a verse-by-verse theological interpretation of the First and Second epistles to Timothy and Titus. Bray reads the letters as authoritative scripture, moving beyond questions of whether they are pseudonymous, and of whether or not they are post-apostolic, instead looking closely at how they have been understood in the life of the Church. Bray engages with the history of commentary surrounding these letters, ranging from the Fathers to contemporary theology and exegesis. He reads the epistles as the authoritative word from God to his people, and through his engagement with the history of interpretation shows the constant thread of witness and confession that unites believers across the ages. In so doing, Bray shows why the Pastoral Epistles have survived the passage of time and have retained the canonical authority that they have always enjoyed"-- NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN BS2735.53 SN 9780567334190 K1 Bible : Pastoral Epistles : Commentaries K1 Bible ; Pastoral Epistles K1 Commentaries K1 Kommentar
