In these letters the work and thought of the historical Paul is extended for the Church, its ministers and its society in the post-Apostolic age. \u003ci\u003eThe Pastoral Epistles Through the Centuries\u003c\/i\u003e explores the important role of the Pastorals in the development of early Christianity and in the much broader impact and influence these letters have had throughout the ages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis commentary surveys the many theological, cultural, literary, political, and artistic uses of the Pastorals, offering both an overview of their place in the tradition and an in-depth study of key moments in the interpretation history of their most important passages. In the process we learn about the Pastorals' complex influence on church structures and rites, the roles of women in Christian religious life, the authority of scripture, the development of monastic orders and much more. We also discover the many ways in which language and concepts from the Pastoral Epistles (such as \"fight the good fight\" and \"the root of all evils\") have filtered into the cultural vernacular more generally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on scholarly insights and a comprehensive array of texts from the entirety of Christian tradition, \u003ci\u003eThe Pastoral Epistles Through the Centuries\u003c\/i\u003e explores the rich legacy of the Pastorals as it has unfolded over the centuries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Pastoral Epistles Through the Centuries\u003c\/i\u003e is published within the Wiley Blackwell Bible Commentaries series.
