The Pastoral Epistles (The New International Greek Testament Commentary)
by III George W. Knight
New International Greek Testament Commentary (15)
On This Page
Description
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. Besides providing a detailed look at the meanings and interrelationships of the Greek words as they appear in each context, Knight's commentary show more 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. Knight also provides two special excursuses: the first gathers together the information in the Pastorals and elsewhere in the New Testament on early church offices and leaders; the other excursus examines the motivations for conduct in Titus 2: 1-10 with a view to their applicability to present-day situations. show lessTags

Just read the Titus section. OK. The chapel at the St. Louis Seminary is the chapel of Sts. Timothy and Titus. Titus is depicted as an older man. Where do they get that? Titus isn't in our lectionary much and I can see why. Commentary mostly referred to 1 Timothy.
