In his New Testament commentary series, John Stanko captures the essence of each verse, with plenty of questions and tips not only to help you understand the Word, but also to apply it in your everyday life.

In this volume, John looks at five of Paul's epistles-his first letters to the Thessalonians and his last letters, the Pastoral Epistles, to Timothy and Titus. Each letter reveals Paul the pastor, always teaching, exhorting, and giving practical and theological wisdom to his followers. When unable to be present, Paul did the next best thing and wrote what was on his heart, using the technology of his day to correspond with his far-reaching missions work. By studying these letters together, you will see the progression of Paul's doctrine over the course of his ministry, while garnering personal insights to equip you to run your race and finish your course.
