"What a wonderful gift to the English-speaking theological world! The topics explored by Bavinck are still of the utmost importance, and he addresses them here in a theological voice that is amazingly fresh.

The Apostle's Overriding Preoccupation throughout his Pastoral Letters is with the truth that it may be faithfully guarded and handed on. John Stott is at pains to convey Paul's passionate concern for the future of the gospel, and for younger pastors charged with its care. Paul's concern is as pertinent today.

When the two editors of this volume began the project almost a decade ago, neither of us anticipated that it would take this long to bring it to completion.

First, begin with Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance, which was designed for those who do not know these languages. Look up in the concordance any word in the King James Version of the Bible, det…
