Lesson Overview

Lesson One surveys the three pastoral epistles, 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus. These epistles, written to instruct young pastors, are rich in practical principles for godly living and church leadership and ministry.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Discuss the authorship and dating issues associated with these epistles and establish an informed opinion on this controversy.
  • Name and explain the concerns that led Paul to write each of the pastoral epistles.
  • List qualities God requires in church leaders.
  • Discuss themes and outlines of each book.

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
What did 1 Timothy 2:11-14 mean for the role of women in the context for which it was written (i.e., the church at Ephesus which Timothy was leading)? What are the implications of 1 Timothy 2:11-14 for the role of women in the church today?
