These nine studies in 1 Timothy are a very thorough and useful aid for individual and group Bible study. The writers have obviously thought hard about how to show the meaning of 1 Timothy, and show it to be an accessible and relevant letter.
Each study includes questions on the text, introductions to sections and pointers for further discussion. Cross references are given sparingly and effectively. None of this makes the reader feel constrained to toe any 'party line'. There is a sensitive and helpful excursus before 'the women passage' in 2.9-15.
