Second Timothy encourages pastors to guard, entrust, suffer for, and above all, preach the gospel. Yet it is also full of encouragement for Christians living in a hostile world. Like Timothy, we need reminding that "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." We need to "be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus" and confident in the Scriptures, which are "given by inspiration of God." And we need to hope in Christ’s return, when He will award the crown of righteousness "to all who have loved His appearing." Michael G. Brown’s exposition of 2 Timothy is not only Christ-centered, redemptive-historical, and gospel focused, but also packed with pastoral and practical application.

"There are so many fine commentaries available today, but its great to have a reliable author you can turn to for solid Reformed reflections on Scripture. In this case, there are sixteen of themfriends and fellow shepherds who have given me great insight into Gods Word over the years.

"Those of us who have promoted and practiced lectio continua expository preaching through the years eagerly await the volumes announced in The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament. We are equally eager to read such a series written by pastors who have practiced the method in their churches. The international and interdenominational character of the series will only add to the richness of its insights." T. David Gordon, professor of religion and Greek at Grove City College, author of Why Johnny Cant Preach (P&R, 2009)
"As the history of preaching is unfolded, it becomes clear how important the orderly, systematic preaching through the Scriptures has been and why it has been a favorite homiletic approach over the centuries. One is surprised to discover how many of historys great preachers made a regular practice of preaching through one book of the Bible after another. Origen, the first Christian preacher from whom we have any sizable collection of sermons, preached most of his sermons on the lectio continua. We find the same with John Chrysostom, who is usually referred to as the greatest Christian preacher. We find the same true of Augustine as well. At the time of the Protestant Reformation, Zwingli, Calvin, Bucer, and Knox followed this system regularly, and they passed it on to the Puritans. Today, we see a real revival of lectio continua preaching. The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament represents a wonderful opportunity for the church to recover a truly expository pulpit." Hughes Oliphant Old, formerly John H. Leith Professor of Reformed Theology and Worship at Erskine Theological Seminary, author of The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church (7 vols., Eerdmans, 2007)
"The concept behind this series is a fascinating one, and, given the list of authors, I am confident that the final product will not disappoint.
