A Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Titus
Overview
Lange’s Commentary on the Holy Scriptures has served as a standard reference for more than a century. The subtitle “Critical, Doctrinal, and Homiletical” aptly describes the three-pronged approach to the biblical text. This translated version of the German text is often considered by many to be superior to the original.

“We are therefore obliged to place the time of the composition of this Epistle in the interval between the first and second imprisonments of the Apostle.” (Page 2)
“Tradition makes him the first bishop of Crete, and relates that he died and was buried there at the age of ninety-four years.” (Page 1)
“In distinction from all this, grace teaches us that we should live temperately and righteously and godly.” (Page 16)
“With good reason does he include in these three parts (faith, love, patience) the sum of Christian perfection. For by faith we worship God; because neither invocation, nor any exercises of piety, can be separated from it. Love extends to all the commandments of the second table. Patience follows as the seasoning of faith and love. For, without it, faith would not long endure, and many things occur every day, so insulting, or exhibiting so much ill temper, that in our irritation we should not only be languid, but almost dead to the duties of love, if the same patience did not support us.’” (Page 13)
“On his journey with Barnabas (Gal. 2:1), Paul brought Titus to Jerusalem, and resisted the demand of the Jewish Zealots that he should be circumcised, on the ground that he was to be a living demonstration of the truth and power of the preaching of Christian freedom. Twice the Apostle sent him, when prevented from going himself, to Corinth, and the manner in which he executed the first mission, together with his readiness to undertake the same work again, led Paul to commend him as a faithful helper (2 Cor. 7, 8).” (Page 1)
