Pastoral Epistles: An Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale New Testament Commentary)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent commentary by an excellent scholar
Review: Like many in the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, The Pastoral Epistles is fantastic.
As a lay person attempting to understand The Pastoral Letters so as to lead a Bible Study group in them, I found Guthrie's exegesis of 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus excellent and well pitched for my level. I tend to find the Tyndale NT Commentaries more 'meaty' than Bible Speaks Today (BST), and yet more approachable than Word Biblical Commentaries (WBC) or the New International Commentaries on the New Testament (NICNT) and this volume in the series is no exception.
Guthrie's coverage of issues such as dating and authorship are very interesting, yet thankfully separated from the main commentary so those whom are not interested in the issues need not be bothered by them.
All in all, an excellent tool for those seeking to increase their understanding of God's Word, especially in a lay leadership capacity.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This commentary shows Guthrie as a superb scholar. It is well written, insightful and never boring. His work on the authorship of the pastorals (it was Paul contra liberals)shows his deep commitment to conservative scholarship. I recommend it highly.
