| Summary | "The Expositor's Bible: The Pastoral Epistles" by Alfred Plummer is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work examines the three epistles attributed to Paul—the letters to Timothy and Titus—focusing on their authenticity, doctrinal significance, and their implications for pastoral care in the early church. Plummer analyzes the issues of authorship and the historical context of these letters while offering insights into their teachings regarding church leadership, ethics, and the challenges faced by early Christians. The opening of the text sets the stage for a rigorous examination of the authenticity of the Pastoral Epistles, discussing the long-standing belief in their Pauline authorship and addressing modern scholarly skepticism. It begins by questioning whether these letters are truly the last messages of Paul to his followers or merely imitations crafted by later authors. Plummer lays out the significance of these epistles in addressing pastoral duties, church governance, and doctrinal integrity, emphasizing their dual nature as both personal correspondence and guidance for the early church's leaders. The introductory discussion thus serves as a foundation for the subsequent chapters that will delve into specific theological and ethical discussions influenced by these texts.
