Reviews
Kitchen’s commentary is both exegetical and expositional, and he emphasizes using the pastoral epistles in biblical counseling—including discussion questions and “ministry maxims” for each section in the letters. The appendices are extraordinarily valuable for preachers. They include helpful preaching outlines, an annotated bibliography, and a topical index of ministry topics.
[Full Review]
I have become a collector of commentaries ever since my seminary days in the 1990s. As such, I am only going to recommend the best overall commentary for each book of the Bible on this site. I think the preacher/teacher will be hard pressed to find a more helpful, relevant commentary on the Pastoral Epistles than John Kitchen's work. It covers the necessary basis of a great commentary for me in its depth of exegetical insight along with practical application.
