Overview

Explore the content and major themes of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus with New Testament Professor Kenneth Waters Sr. You’ll examine the doctrine of salvation, learn the difference between “imminent” and “immanent” eschatology, gain background information on Timothy and Titus, and see the bigger picture of where and how these letters fit in with the rest of Paul’s journeys and our own spiritual formation.

Dr. Waters also looks at the controversies that surround the interpretation of these texts. You’ll gain new insight into Paul’s remarks about slavery and the roles of women in the church.

 

For a collection of focused courses that will deepen your familiarity with Paul’s prodigious New Testament writing, see the Mobile Ed: Paul’s Letters Bundle (7 courses).

    The course investigates the Pastoral Epistles from various angles through illuminating and text-based study covering controversial issues such as the authorship of the letters, their commentary on slavery, and the theology of women’s roles in the Church. The course helps you to understand the seven major themes of the Pastoral Epistles and also the intersection of ethics and eschatology in the Pastoral Epistles. It also explains from Acts how the Pastoral Epistles relate key themes that were present in the early life of the Church and the occasional nature of the Pastoral Epistles and what the implications are for the Church today. Dr. Kenneth Waters has a rich baritone voice in which he explains various concepts in the epistles at a slow pace in his own unique style. Good & Helpful!
