Cover-to-Cover Series: The Book of Second Timothy with Paul Benware
Paul’s second letter to Timothy is warm and personal in its tone, containing the advice and encouragement of the aged apostle to Timothy, the young pastor. It also gives us a deeply moving insight into the way the great apostle, shut up in his cold damp prison cell and chained like a criminal, faced the closing days of his life prior to execution. ...This epistle is immensely relevant for the life of today’s church. It was written when Christians were suffering persecution under the Emperor Nero, and when falsehood had become fashionable within the church itself. But Paul urges Timothy not to yield to the pressures of the age, but to ‘preach the Word in season and out of season’, and to remain faithful to the Apostolic faith. That is a message we need to take to heart today (Peter Williams, "Opening Up 2 Timothy," 8).
Agreeing to serve as our guide through this powerful and personal little letter is Dr. Paul Benware. Dr. Benware is a well-known and well-studied theologian and teacher who has written many books and articles and has taught through much of the canon all over the world. In fact, much of his helpful teaching can be found online for free at www.paulbenware.com.
