Overview

1 and 2 Timothy, Titus: A Theological Commentary for Preachers engages hermeneutics for preaching, employing theological exegesis that enables the preacher to utilize all the units of these epistles to craft effective sermons. This commentary unpacks the crucial link between Scripture and application: the theology of each preaching text (pericope). The three letters--collectively, the Pastoral Epistles--are divided into eighteen pericopes, and what the author is doing with what he is saying in each is explored. The overall theological trajectory of the Pastoral Epistles concerns the promotion of God's economy by the community of God's people. The specific theological thrust of individual preaching units is captured in this commentary, making possible a sequential homiletical movement through each pericope of the three epistles. While the primary goal of the commentary is to take the preacher from text to theology, it also provides two sermon outlines for each of the eighteen preaching units of the Pastoral Epistles. The unique approach of this work results in a theology-for-preaching commentary that promises to be useful for anyone teaching through 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus with an emphasis on application.

Brilliant as usual, Kuruvilla puts his pericopal approach to work in this theological commentary for preachers. Conversant with scholarship, grounded in the original text, and acutely relevant—I love this commentary and will turn to it often. Highly recommended!

—Andreas J. Köstenberger, Research Professor of New Testament, Director of the Center for Biblical Studies, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

Few commentaries on these Pauline letters rival this one for excellence in clarity, brevity, exegetical accuracy, theological acumen, and pastoral application. This is not to mention the author’s remarkable homiletical vision—if you preach or teach the Bible, this book will fuel rather than frustrate as you prepare to present. Kuruvilla draws on thorough knowledge of the historical background (both Greco-Roman and Jewish), the history of interpretation, and the contemporary literature to arrive at a compelling account of these epistles. Serious readers at all levels will find canonical understanding, encouragement in personal growth, and fresh treasure for public proclamation.

—Robert W. Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary

In a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world, Professor Kuruvilla is to be commended for designing a commentary format that helps preachers and teachers prepare a faithful message as it is historically informed, rhetorically conscious, linguistically astute, theologically reflexive, hermeneutically sensitive, and practically oriented. Amidst the many commentaries available on the letters to Timothy and Titus, this one stands out as a reliable guide in bringing their theological message to the fore. As such, it deserves a wide audience.

—Jermo van Nes, Senior Researcher in New Testament, Evangelical Theological Faculty, Belgium

Abraham Kuruvilla is Research Professor of Pastoral Ministries at Dallas Theological Seminary, and a dermatologist in private practice. He is the author of Text to Praxis: Hermeneutics and Homiletics in Dialogue (2009), Privilege the Text! A Theological Hermeneutic for Preaching (2013), and A Vision for Preaching: Understanding the Heart of Pastoral Ministry (2015), in addition to theological commentaries for preachers on Mark (2012), Genesis (2014), and Ephesians (2015).
