In this book Frances M. Young begins by exploring the desert spirituality of the early Church Fathers, and develops in this and other ways their approach to the Bible. In doing so, she seeks to recover a sense of the importance of the spiritual meaning of the text, as much as a literal or historic meaning.

Theology of the Pastoral Letters (New Testament Theology)

The Pastoral Letters have often been marginalised in modern New Testament studies. Regarded as not authentically Pauline, not very theological, and mostly evidence of the church settling down in the world, their patriarchal orientation has more recently futher alienated readers. Yet it was these little letters which mediated Paul to the Patristic church, and then provided scriptural material for debate about church order and ministry from the Reformation to the present. This study attempts to re-read the Pastorals in their original setting, revising many of the standard scholarly assessments in the light of recent work (especially developments in sociological study of the New Testament), and exploring the development of a tradition which proves to be theological in its fundamental structure and in its mode of addressing practical and organisational issues. The letters are then related to the very different context of the modern world.
