Publisher's Synopsis
Written from a caring, pastoral perspective, Professor David J. Valleskey's The Splendid Task of the Ministry offers insightful, practical applications to the pastoral ministry of today from the New Testament books of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus.
Pastor Valleskey uses his extensive knowledge as a scholar of the pastoral ministry and biblical interpretation to give seminary students, theologians, and pastors a unique resource as they conduct personal study, write sermons, or prepare Bible studies related to 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus.
The commentary features verse-by-verse translations from the Greek text and extensive "Thoughts for Ministry" applications throughout. It is one of the relatively few current commentaries on 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus written from a conservative Lutheran perspective.
In this book, readers can expect to study the message of Paul's epistles to Timothy and Titus on the basis of the Greek text, and along the way, dwell on applicable thoughts for gospel ministry today.
