The Appearing of God Our Savior ebook

An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus The letters of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus were written by Paul to trusted coworkers toward the end of his apostolic ministry. As Paul's delegates, they were to teach and defend the truth, model godly living, and ensure that godly church leadership was in place. But these letters are more than just a how-to guide for ministry. In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, Claire Smith explores the central themes and theology of each letter, which consistently focus on God's eternal plan in Christ to save a people for himself. Emphasizing that we live between the two appearings of Christ Jesus in history, Smith encourages readers to live in this present time as God's household (1 Timothy), how to endure suffering as believers (2 Timothy), and how to live in an unbelieving world (Titus). - Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include To Walk and to Please God; Ministry in the New Realm; United to Christ; and more  - Resource for Church Leaders: Explores 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, written to guide church leaders toward authentic and gospel-centered ministry  - Great for Studying the Bible More Deeply: Perfect for pastors, seminarians, college students, and laypeople
