About This Book

An apostle writes to his younger colleague, urging him to counter false teaching and preserve sound doctrine while outlining practical instructions for church order, public worship, and moral conduct. He sets qualifications for overseers, deacons, and deaconesses; offers directions for prayer and decorum in assemblies; addresses the proper role and behavior of women; warns against speculative myths, ascetic extremes, and teachers who mislead; affirms core beliefs about Christ's saving role and the mystery of godliness; and exhorts steadfast faith, sincere love, a clear conscience, and disciplined life among believers.
