Digital Logos Edition
Jumpstart Your Research
The overall message of 1 Timothy concerns “sound teaching.” The instructions throughout the letter promote proper teaching and an environment where false teaching cannot flourish. As part of that environment, the Christian life must extend into all areas of daily life—social, political, and religious.
The Lexham Research Commentary is your starting point for study and research. Each volume gives you the tools you need to find answers quickly. This commentary is designed to do the time-consuming work of searching through commentaries, journal articles, and monographs to find the information you need, saving you valuable time by curating all of the best literature in one place—it’s a commentary on the commentaries. The annotated notes on the various viewpoints and interpretive options within the text allow you to quickly synthesize a broad range of views on a particular passage. Dense, jargon-filled research is distilled into easy-to-understand comments. As you critically study the text, the contextual notes help you place the passage within the narrow context of the biblical book and the broader context of the entire canon.
The Lexham Research Commentaries were formerly known as the Lexham Bible Guides.

Excellent commentary, you will come away with some greek knowledge and in-depth knowledge. Highly recommend. Also if you have some of the reference books you can go a lot deeper with little effort. Because it will take you right to the article they are talking about.
