Second Timothy- Everyman's Bible Commentary
A reliable guide to Paul's last letter is provided by D. Edmond Hiebert in this concise interpretation of 2 Timothy. The verse-by-verse exposition offers a systematic explanation of the entire book. A comprehensive outline accurately follows the progression of Paul's thought, giving a quick overall view of the contents. Second Timothy is the most personal of the Pastoral Epistles. It was written shortly before Paul's martyrdom and contains intimate words of lasting significance. The apostle's special concern for both Timothy and the people he served is laid bare in this touching letter of instruction and encouragement. Second Timothy is characterized by clear expression and a penetrating analysis of this epistle written to a son in the faith. The outline is designed as a chart and guide to the meaning of the epistle and is interspersed in the interpretative text. Technical matters have been kept to a minimum but discussion of the Greek is included where such commentary is needed.
First Timothy- Everyman's Bible Commentary
This concise interpretation of the apostle Paul's first letter to Timothy keeps technical matters to a minuimum, while making every effort to provide a clear explanation of each portion of the epistle. Dr. Hiebert's verse-by-verse method keeps the trend of thought before the reader by means of a well-developed outline. The letter to Timothy was intended to give him needed help in opposing the false teachings that were creeping into the church. Hiebert's valuable commentary makes the truths Paul taught Timothy clear and easily applicable to the layman and busy pastor.
Working with God Through Intercessory Prayer
"Prayer is indeed 'the Christian's breath,'" writes D. Edmond Hiebert in his preface. "It is also God's gracious arrangement whereby his saints are privileged to work together with him in furthering his sovereign purpose. In intercession God brings his saints into cooperation with him in accomplishing his work in the world. This is the basic messsage of this volume." - Back cover.
1 Peter
Dr. Hiebert reaches both scholar and layperson with this accurate but understandable application of Greek and the addition of a detailed bibliography for further study. Summing up this letter, he observes, "First Peter is preeminently an epistle of triumphant faith and suffering."
In Paul's Shadow
With the exception of the Lord Jesus Christ himself, no one figures more prominently in the pages of the New Testament than the Apostle Paul. Author of thirteen of the books of the New Testament and central figure in the book of Acts, Paul was the individual most responsible for the spread of the gospel in the first century. Yet the great apostle was not alone in his labors. Beside him were numerous colaborers. Set against him were many foes -- most of whom owe their limited fame almost entirely to their relationship to the man they opposed. This volume sheds new light on those in Paul's shadow, both friend and foe. Dr. Hiebert carefully surveys all the scriptural data concerning "prominent personalities" (such as Apollos, Barnabas, and Luke) and the "lesser lights" (such as Demas, Epaphras, and Philemon) -- twenty-five sketches in all. The author seeks to demonstrate how each of these figures contributed to the life and ministry of the Apostle Paul. In addition, Dr. Hiebert includes two chapters briefly surveying "all the others, named and unnamed." The reverent scholarship and devotional warmth make this a valuable reference work. - Back cover.
1 and 2 Thessalonians
This commentary's wide application of the original Greek and the author's confident use of other church leaders. Yet, this work is not so exhaustive that the layman cannot benefit from it.
First Timothy- Everyman's Bible Commentary
"In this concise interpretation of the thought of the apostle Paul in his first letter to Timothy, technical matters are kept to a minimum, while every effort is made to provide a clear explanation of each portion of the epistle. Dr. Hiebert has used a verse-by-verse method, keeping the trend of thought before the reader by means of a well-developed outline. Addressed to Timothy, the letter was intended to give him needed assistance in the performance of the difficult task entrusted to him. He needed help in meeting the false teachings which were creeping into the church. This valuable commentary makes the truths Paul taught Timothy plain and easily applicable to the layman and busy pastor."--Back cover
A Spirituality of Perfection
Throughout this century the Letter of James has been viewed consistently as a disjointed set of instructions. Father Hartin deviates radically from this approach. He shows that the "call for perfection" provides a unifying meaning for the letter. Examining the concept of perfection against the background of the Greco-Roman world, the Old Testament, and the Septuagint, the author shows that perfection provides a key to define the spirituality of the Letter of James. It offers an understanding of God and of the way one is called "to be in the world." Hartin adopts a fresh approach toward understanding the categories of wisdom, eschatology, and apocalyptic as they illuminate the letter's advice.
