As many of my personal friends who read this blog know, I've been studying the Pastoral Epistles for awhile.

It is time for me to focus on some sort of output from my study. For now, it looks like it will take the shape of some sort of commentary; but we'll see if that persists.

To this end, I've been working on an introduction of sorts. This is more for me to think about what I'm actually going to do. I sincerely doubt that anything like this would end up in whatever it is that I end up writing.

But getting thoughts on paper is a helpful step in the process.

Feedback is a helpful step too. So if you'd like to take some time to peruse my little introduction [PDF file, approx. 150kb] and offer me some thoughts on what I'm thinking about, I'd appreciate it.

Also: Is there any interest in folks reviewing what I write as I write it? That is, as I finish rough drafts of pericopes, is there any interest out there in reviewing my work? Should I post them as I have rough drafts done? I only want to do this if there is genuine interest, so please let me know — either via email or via comments below.

Thanks!
