Everyman's Bible Commentary
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.

Really great, short commentary. Cuts it straight, helps build context. Hiebert is always a great starting place.

A good, conservative, handy (120 pages) commentary well suited for use, along with your Bible study, by the layman, Sunday school teacher, or even pastor. My one criticism is that the author seeks to correct the King James Version a few too many times for my liking. I have a general knowledge of the men who made up the KJV translation committees (scholars all) as well as the "pretty well representative of the whole" manuscripts that they had access to and have no problem at all trusting the KJV as the Word of God; needless KJV-bashing, even in mild form if done too frequently, quite frankly gets on my nerves. That said, I would still recommend this commentary's use, except perhaps by those very new to the faith with no background regarding translation issues.
