Timothy and Titus were two of Pauls faithful associates. When problems arose in a church, Paul knew he could depend on either one of them to handle the situation.

With confidence the aging apostle passes the torch of faith and exhorts them to be Christs representatives on earth. John Calvins exploration of the key passages of these three pastoral epistles not only provides historical insight into the early church, but also guidance and encouragement for pastors and lay leaders today.

The First Epistle of Clement is a letter addressed to the Christians in the city of Corinth. Its author may be Clement I, the Bishop of Rome. The letter responds to events in Corinth, where the congregation had deposed some of the elders. The author called on the congregation to restore the elders to their position and to obey their superiors. He said that the Apostles had appointed the church leadership and directed them on perpetuating the ministry; therefore, changing the church elders is a sin.

1 Clement, often considered one of the earliest examples of Christian literature outside of the New Testament, serves as a poignant epistle addressed to the church in Corinth from the church in Rome. Written in a formal, rhetorical style that reflects both Hellenistic influences and early Christian thought, this letter seeks to address issues of division and strife within the Corinthian community. It offers theological insights, emphasizing the concepts of humility, leadership, and the role of grace, all amidst an overarching call to unity and moral rectitude. The author, traditionally believed to be Clement of Rome, is shrouded in anonymity, yet his epistle is widely accepted as a crucial document showcasing the early churchs struggles and communal life.

The anonymity of the author is indicative of the broader early Christian tradition, wherein many works were circulated under the auspices of apostolic authority. The author, likely a prominent church leader or elder, conveys firsthand knowledge of the struggles faced by early Christian congregations, given the historical context marked by persecution and doctrinal disputes. This insight into the challenges of maintaining unity and faith serves as an intellectual backdrop to the epistles call for reconciliation and obedience to church hierarchy. For scholars and lay readers alike, 1 Clement remains a vital text for understanding the theological and organizational development of early Christianity.

In his first letter to the church in Corinth, Paul writes, "I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Cor 15:3-4 ESV). Reflecting on Pauls summary of the gospel, sixteenth-century biblical commentator, theologian, and Lutheran pastor Tilemann Hesshus wrote, "The central tenet and foundation of our entire religion is that our Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again for our justification. All of our comfort, salvation and hope rest upon this foundation. From this is derived that greatest comfort concerning the resurrection of the dead and the future life of eternal glory." Throughout the churchs history, Christians have turned to the epistles of the Apostle Paul in order to understand the essentials of the Christian faith, learn from the challenges faced by early Christians, and discern how to navigate the complexities of following Christ. Among those who gained wisdom from Paul were the Protestant Reformers, who found inspiration and instruction about how to lead the church of their day during a time of significant theological debate, ecclesiastical reform, and spiritual renewal.

The book of 1 Kings outlines the rise and fall of ancient Israel through the stories of fourteen kings. It is a book of great victories and devastating failures. In its pages are violence, betrayal, power, and politics. But no matter how great the accomplishments or evil the deeds, none of these kingdoms built by human kings could last.John Woodhouse walks us through this book passage by passage as it reveals how Gods purpose for the kings reaches far beyond what they could accomplish in their lifetimes. Their lives are part of a greater story, bearing witness about the King of kings, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the worldbuilding and strengthening our faith as we set our eyes on the kingdom that will last forever.

This volume makes use of diverse methods and approaches to offer fresh treatments of 1 Kings 16 - 2 Kings 16 both synchronically and diachronically. Among its major contributions are a detailed text-critical analysis that frequently adopts readings of the Old Greek and Old Latin and, at the same time, a reexamination of the variant chronologies for the kings of Israel and Judah that argues for the priority of the one in the Masoretic Text. The book presents a new theory of the compositional history of these chapters that ascribes them mostly to the hand of a postexilic "Prophetic Narrator" who reworked older legenda, especially about Elisha, and effectively shaped Kings into the work we have today.

O livro de 1 Reis - Comentários Expositivos de Hernandes Dias Lopes, conduz o leitor por uma jornada intensa nos altos e baixos do povo de Israel, desde o crepúsculo do reinado de Davi até os dias sombrios da diviso do reino. Apresenta um panorama dramatico da historia de Israel, revelando como reis piedosos e impios alternaram-se no trono, moldando o destino da naço. De Salomo a Acabe, passando pelo ministerio profetico de Elias, destaca os perigos da idolatria, os efeitos da liderança corrupta e o chamado constante de Deus ao arrependimento e a obediencia a sua aliança. Traça, assim, um retrato vivido de uma naço em declinio espiritual, mas ainda alvo da fidelidade divina, pois, em meio a decadencia, o Senhor levanta profetas como Elias, boca de Deus em tempos de apostasia, e renova a esperança messianica no Filho de Davi, que reinara eternamente.Pastores, lideres e cristos em geral so assim chamados a discernirem os tempos, restaurarem o altar da verdadeira adoraço e viverem de forma santa sob a autoridade do Rei dos reis. Uma leitura indispensavel para quem deseja entender os caminhos de Deus na historia e responder com fe e obediencia em sua propria geraço.
