With remarkable sensitivity, Raymond Collins carries on the tradition of the Pastoral Epistles themselves: to interpret for people of a new time the traditions associated with Paul the Apostle.

The Pastoral Epistles present difficult questions for the modern interpreter, including such matters as their authorship, literary characteristics, and social orientations. Collins carefully leads the reader through the texts of these three documents, attending to the flow of the Pastor's thought and locating it within the Jewish and Hellenistic culture of his day. Excurses judiciously summarize topics of recurring importance throughout the Pastorals, such as the Pastor's perspective on women, church order, and the conduct of Christians in the world.

The New Testament Library offers authoritative commentary on every book and major aspect of the New Testament, as well as classic volumes of scholarship. The commentaries in this series provide fresh translations based on the best available ancient manuscripts, offer critical portrayals of the historical world in which the books were created, pay careful attention to their literary design, and present a theologically perceptive exposition of the text.

Raymond F. Collins is Professor Emeritus of New Testament at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. He is also a Roman Catholic priest.
