Praise for 1 Timothy

Faithfulness to the word of God in different times and places requires understanding those times and places. It is not only readers in Asia who will appreciate this commentary and its sensitivity to culture, customs, and the requirements of the gospel. It is a model study of how a letter written to a church in West Asia in the first century can speak powerfully to Christian communities in East Asia and elsewhere today.

—Rev. John Roxborogh, PhD

This commentary is an excellent work, well-suited for busy pastors and church leaders. It is easy to read yet comprehensive in its coverage of many theological issues presented by Paul in his letter to Timothy. The authors have proven their worth in being fair and even courageous in their views and applications of the teachings of 1 Timothy in various social and ecclesiastical contexts within Asian churches.

—Tony Siew, PhD

This commentary is evangelical and pastoral, offering concise and lucid exegesis and its comparative application. The three authors complement Western exegesis by providing Asian insights.
