In a thorough and insightful commentary on Paul's letter to his co-worker Timothy, which the Apostle wrote before and during Nero's persecution, Aída Besançon Spencer carefully examines each part of the letter and relates it to the overall flow of the argument and in light of the larger biblical, historical, social, and cultural contexts. How Paul's writing related to the ancient communities is highlighted in the light of original data gleaned from her explorations on location in Ephesus and throughout Greece. In addition, Paul's rhetorical and ministry strategies, especially as they relate to women and their role in the church, are explored. Throughout, Spencer presents an in-depth exegesis in a readable format enhanced by forty years of ministry.

In 1 Timothy, more than any other New Testament writing, Paul has specific instructions for how Christian women are to present and conduct themselves, and how they are to learn, teach, and minister in the church. How appropriate, then, that a commentary on this book should be written by a woman. Dr Spencer provides a carefully researched, well-balanced, and well-written exposition with special attention given to the difficult and controversial texts relating to women, men, and to all Christians. Highly recommended. John R. Kohlenberger III, Editor, 'The NIV Greek and English New Testament'"Spencer writes as a female scholar with a special interest on female issues contained in the teaching of the letter, in the Church in Ephesus and in the work that Timothy is undertaking. ... This is a useful work to put into the hands of anyone interested in the story of the church as it was towards the end on Paul's life..."-Donald A. Bullen, Theological Book Review, Vol. 26 No. 2, 2015
