The Church of the first century faced remarkable challenges: the deaths of the apostles and a new generation of Church leaders, a rapid influx of believers and converts, interactions with numerous cultures and often hostile nations. The pastoral letters--the First and Second Letters to Timothy and the Letter to Titus--contain necessary instructions for carrying out the pastoral or ministerial office of the Church. In this volume of his study, Fr. William A. Anderson also includes the Letter to the Hebrews, which served a similar teaching function in the first century, helping to bridge the...

En el mundo antiguo las naciones y los gobernantes buscaban ejercer el poder a traves de la fuerza, de la influencia e -incluso a veces- a traves de idolos.

Though not included in every translation, the characters and events are well known throughout religious history.
