The authorship of the Pastoral letters has been a matter of intense
scholarly debate for almost two hundred years. The letters clearly
purport to be written by Paul, but perceived differences in the
literary style, vocabulary and theology of the Pastorals when
compared with that of the genuine Pauline letters suggests that
this was not so. The arguments have centred primarily on the
question of whether Paul or a disciple of Paul - a gifted
pseudonymist - composed these letters. It is the 'either/or' nature
of the debate that is brought into serious question in this book.
Dr Miller argues that the Pastorals reflect a compositional history
that was commonplace throughout the ancient Near East. He takes the
reader on a wide-ranging tour of biblical and extra-biblical
sources, examining their literary histories, and arguing that the
Pastorals are composite documents, not unlike many Jewish and early
Christian works.
