Unlike some of the other letters of the Pauline corpus, there has
been no significant demand for a detailed, Messianic examination of
the Pastoral Epistles of 1&2 Timothy and Titus. Many of today's
Messianic teachers and leaders think that they already know what
these letters mean, and so putting out the effort of analyzing them
beyond a cursory reading or survey is thought to probably not be
needed. Sadly, today's broad Messianic movement is largely unaware
and under-informed of a literal factory of academic proposals and
perspectives, from over the past fifty years, regarding 1&2
Timothy and Titus. Much of this scholarship has affected various
trends present in evangelical Christianity, the ordination of
females as clergy within the contemporary church, and the debate
over complimentarianism and egalitarianism. It is time for our
faith community to join into these discussions. What purpose do
these three letters serve within the Apostolic Scriptures? Are
1&2 Timothy and Titus to actually be read as a kind of "church
manual"? What was the false teaching in Ephesus that caused Paul to
issue some restrictive instruction? What is a proper usage of the
Torah, versus an improper usage of the Torah as employed by the
false teachers? What were the troublemakers on Crete doing? Why is
the Apostle Paul so positive toward women in positions of high
service in other letters, but perhaps not as much so in the
Pastoral Epistles? Is abstinence from eating certain things, like
keeping kosher, truly a sign of end-time apostasy? What do the
Pastoral Epistles teach us about Yeshua the Messiah, and the
Father's plan for the ages? How do we defend genuine Pauline
authorship of 1&2 Timothy and Titus? These, and many more
critical issues, are examined. The Pastoral Epistles for the
Practical Messianic takes into consideration much of what has been
offered by various scholars, not only in terms of the ancient
setting of 1&2 Timothy and Titus, but also with how these
epistles should be accurately applied in a modern setting. TNN
Online editor J.K. McKee helps to probe these letters for the
future development of the Messianic movement, weighing our
strengths and weaknesses of them, in an effort to be an assembly
that is no longer lacking an adequate understanding. What are the
things that we have actually interpreted correctly from the
Pastoral Epistles, and what needs to be improved upon? How might
some Messianic congregations and fellowships change if we took a
good, hard look at 1&2 Timothy and Titus, and implemented some
necessary reform? How can we truly be all of the things that we can
be in the Lord? This significant commentary asks these, and many
more pertinent questions.
