The Problem Of The Pastoral Epistles (1921)

By Percy Neale Harrison and Harrison P. N. (Percy Neale)

Book Overview

""The Problem of the Pastoral Epistles"" is a scholarly work by P.N. Harrison, first published in 1921. The book is a critical examination of the three New Testament epistles known as the Pastoral Epistles (1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus), which are traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul. Harrison argues that the authorship of these epistles is uncertain and that they were likely written by a follower of Paul, sometime after his death. He also critiques the content of the letters, particularly their views on women, and suggests that they may have been written for a specific community or purpose rather than as general teachings for all Christians. The book provides a detailed analysis of the language, style, and historical context of the Pastoral Epistles, drawing on a range of sources including other biblical texts, ancient Greek and Roman literature, and contemporary scholarship. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of biblical studies, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
