These paragraph-by-paragraph commentaries have been written by modern scholars who are in touch with contemporary biblical study and also with the interests of the general reader. They interpret the words of the New Testament for the twentieth century in the light of the latest archeological, historical and linguistic research and are neither over-simplified nor abstruse and academic. The author of the Pastoral Epistles, I Timothy, II Timothy and Titus, seeks through pastoral advice to protect the heritage of Paul from partisan distortions. This commentary situates the letters in the period after Paul's death, when the church was divided by problems of indentity and doctrine. Professor Houlden employs careful, exacting scholarship as he demonstrates how these are also problems which trouble the church today. J.L . Houlden is Professor of Theology at King's College, London.

The Pastoral Epistles 1 and 2: Timothy and Titus (New Testament Commentary)

<p>For centuries Christians have referred to the New Testament for guidance on moral conduct. But did the writers of the New Testament themselves agree on such questions as divorce, political obedience, wealth and the toleration of other religions? And have their often inconsistent views any relevance today? In Ethics and the New Testament, the author applies strict critical standards to the Gospels, epistles and other writings, which he examines in historical perspective. His explanation of contemporary attitudesâ€”including gnosticismâ€”helps to clarify the striking moral differences between Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James and Paul. He attempts to discern the ethical standards and teachings of Jesus which are sometimes hidden in the present Biblical texts. And finally, he relates the moral injunctions of Christianity's central text to the modern age.</p>

<p>Previously unpublished, the forty sermons collected here were preached by Austin Farrer during his twenty-five years as chaplain of Trinity College, Oxford (1935-60). Most of them were short biblical addresses given during Evensong, and they are offered here for Farrer devotees, and for a new generation of readers to savor.</p>

`Very good indeed. The subject here is the relationship between Christian doctrine and New Testament studies. Far too often New Testament studies remain unwittingly under the spell of the doctrinal and philosophical perspective of later Christianity, while systematic theologies focus on some theme abstracted from the New Testament erected into independent existence. Christian doctrine cannot subsist on outdated knowledge of the New Testament and New Testament scholarship cannot be divorced from the life of the church. To bring the two together and allow them properly to interact will compel us to evaluate afresh the function and nature of dogmatic statement and doctrinal tradition. Almost every page demands to be quoted, and the argument as a whole is much too closely knit to be expounded in a review. Beautifully written, this book is a timely example of how to assess Christian doctrine New Testamentally, or the New Testament doctrinally, and it cannot fail to enlighten many readers' (Fergus Kerr in New Blackfriars).

Trinity Press

The famous Pelican takes on a new look in this important series of commentaries on the New Testament. Originally published by Penguin Books, it has now been taken over by SCM Press who will continue it and develop it further. The commentaries on the four gospels in paperback will continue to be published by Penguin Books; cased editions of these books and editions of all other commentaries, both cased and paperback, will in future be published by SCM Press. In their new format, the commentaries will aim, as before, to provide explanations of the books of the New Testament which are neither abstruse and academic, nor over-simplified, fundamentalist or out of date. Paul's Letters from Prison covers the 'captivity epistles' which, though of uncertain authorship, are commonly attributed to the apostle Paul: Philippians, Colossians, Philemon and Ephesians.
