1 Timothy


Paul is writing this letter to Timothy to encourage him and to instruct in certain ways of organizing and administering the church. Paul and Timothy have a close relationship, almost like father and son and the letter is full of encouragement to Timothy to stand firm in the faith. There is lots of instruction here on how to treat widows and how to discern pastors and deacons.

Impressions: This book is not just for church administrators, but all believers who must continually guard against false teachers and straying from the faith.

Readability: 4 stars
