N2  - Pastor Valleskey uses his knowledge as a scholar of the pastoral ministry and biblical interpretation to give pastors a unique resource as they conduct personal study, write sermons, or prepare Bible studies related to 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. The commentary features verse-by-verse translations from the Greek text and extensive "Thoughts for Ministry" applications throughout. It is one of the relatively few current commentaries on 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus written from a conservative Lutheran law and gospel, Word and Sacrament perspective
