An evangelical Christian commentary, from an author of the reformed and conservative perspective, offering verse by verse analysis of the Pastoral Epistles: 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus. Dr Hamilton Moore focuses on that which lay close to the apostle Paul’s heart: the continuation of the truth of the gospel and the mission of God, showing how we – like Timothy and Titus – must hold on to teaching sound doctrine, and live a godly lifestyle, if we are to promote the mission of God (the salvation offered to all people by God’s grace in Christ) in the twenty-first century.
