1 & 2 Timothy and Titus (The Two Horizons New Testament Commentary | THNTC)
Overview
This theological commentary on 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus by Robert Wall powerfully demonstrates the ongoing relevance and authority of the Pastoral Epistles for the church today. Wall uniquely employs an apostolic “rule of faith” methodology for interpreting these texts as sacred Scripture. Three successive historical case studies by Richard Steele vividly instantiate key themes of the Pastorals. This innovative yet reverent volume will help revive the interest of students, pastors, and other Christian leaders in the Pastoral Epistles.

After reading how this volume handles the role of women and men in the ministry, I'm out. In what seems to be a greater fear of feminists than God, the author champions the feminist's cause for getting women into the ministry, while bashing and demonizing those who would obey 1 Timothy 2:11-15 as using "terror" tactics. This is standard fair for feminism. Step one is to establish men as being evil, and women as being victims of oppression. Step two is to introduce the standard that in order to be right with women, you have to wholeheartedly embrace a cultural revolution that puts them in authority. Jesus is equal to God, yet always submits to the will of the Father. Being equal in God's sight doesn't mean we all share the same roles in life. Our position in heaven as children of the King, doesn't mean we get to avoid paying taxes, or submitting to earthly authorities. Likewise, equality in Christ doesn't mean we do away with the roles of men and women clearly established in the Bible. The Bible should determine our culture. Our culture should not determine the meaning of the Bible.
