NIGTC Pastoral Epistles, The

Out of Print

This is a thorough, full-scale English commentary on the Greek text of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. While author George W. Knight gives careful attention to the comments of previous interpreters of the text, both ancient and modern, his emphasis is on exegesis of the Greek text itself and on the flow of the argument in each of these three epistles.

Knight’s commentary provides a detailed look at the meanings and interrelationships of the Greek words as they appear in each context. It also includes an introduction that treats at length the question of authorship (he argues for Pauline authorship and proposes, on the basis of stylistic features, that Luke might have been the amanuensis for the Pastoral Epistles), the historical background of these letters, and the personalities and circumstances of the recipients.

“Following the style of this fine series, Knight’s commentary is most valuable for its detailed analysis of the Greek text of the epistles.”
