Description: Paul's letter to Titus is one of the most neglected
letters of the New Testament. Many have contended that it is an
incoherent letter devoid of a theological message and purpose. This
study proposes otherwise, presenting an entirely new structure for
Titus that demonstrates how the theme "Exhort and Reprove to
Commendable Works according to the Hope of Eternal Life" unfolds
through the chiastic structures in the letter. Jeon not only
demonstrates the unity of the letter but also invites the reader to
explore other ways chiasms can be used to enhance New Testament
interpretation. Any intrigued by Titus, and the Pastoral Letters as
a whole, will discover herein a unique approach to the letter and a
fresh and invigorating interpretation of its underlying message.
Endorsements: "Jeon offers a new proposal for the overall structure
of this often neglected letter, taking account of all the details
of the text to demonstrate not only its comprehensive unity, but
the rhetorical power of its chiastic structures. Highly recommended
for all students of the Pauline Letters." --John Paul Heil, The
Catholic University of America "Jeon provides a helpful resource
for studies in the Book of Titus. He not only succeeds in
presenting a persuasive case for the chiastic structure of this
epistle, he also integrates this literary structure with the
apostle's overall message: namely, to exhort and reprove according
to the hope of eternal life. This book will enhance the library of
any pastor as well as add to scholarly discussions in Pauline
studies." --Peter Lee, Reformed Theological Seminary "Jeon has done
a marvelous job in bringing a fresh and clear perspective on the
book of Titus. His clear writing and persuasive arguments for the
chiastic structure of Titus are convincing and moving. To Exhort
and Reprove should be required for any serious scholar, pastor, or
layperson who desires to understand and appreciate the letter of
Titus." --Benjamin C. Shin, Talbot School of Theology at Biola
University "On the basis of a close reading of the Letter to Titus,
Jeon uncovers the chiastic structure of this letter, thereby
clarifying its purpose and meaning for the general reader as well
as for specialists in Pauline studies. Readers of his work will
benefit from and appreciate his close exegesis of the text."
--Frank J. Matera, The Catholic University of America About the
