New Testament Commentary: Titus

MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series

by John F. MacArthur Jr., Paul the Apostle

How can strong, evangelistic churches be established in a culture that is anything but Christian? This was the challenge that Titus faced on the island of Crete. In instructing Titus, Paul focused on the importance of qualified church leadership, godly conduct within the church, and a Christ-honoring testimony before the world. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage, MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk. A great resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, students, or anyone desiring to dig deeper into Scripture

This book was an incredible aid as I was studying the book of Titus using Michelle Lesley's study. Between John and Michelle and the Lord I learned so much about God and how He is the God of order. We are to worship Him as He instructs because it guides us in the leadership of church, the church members relationships and relationships outside of the Church.
Titus 2:11-14 Sums up the heart of this study!
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, 13 waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

An amazing and educational view of what the church would have been like in ancient Crete in Paul's day, with great application for believers today.

I'm not the biggest fan of MacArthur's commentary series but definitely appreciate them for being a solid source of information. It's nice having a book I can go to and trust that solid exegesis has taken place. Always good to have MacArthur on your shelf and this was no exception.
