Description
[The letters by Paul to Timothy and Titus]
Paul's pastoral letters to his co-workers are not among the central texts of the Pauline tradition, but that is precisely what makes them so interesting. Their literary form, their relationship to each other, and again and again the question of authorship challenge the interpretation. The commentary offers a unique perspective on the so-called »Pastoral Epistles«. Beyond the classical positions that regard them either as a pseudonymous corpus pastorale or all three letters as authentic, the Epistle to Titus and the Second Epistle to Timothy are situated and interpreted as letters of the Apostle in the context of his biography, while the First Epistle to Timothy is interpreted as a congregational document of the Pauline tradition of the second century.
