PHILEMON The Guideposts
Home Bible Study Program Hardback book COPYRIGHT © 1986 by GUIDEPOSTS ASSOCIATES, INC. According to the Publisher's Introduction: " Our studies in this series of lessons gives us our most intimate view into the heart and life of Paul, the apostle to the gentiles. And they are his most personal writings. " " The two letters to Timothy and the letter to Titus were addressed to two old friends- men who has traveled widely with him and who had had the benefits of his personal attention and training. " " The Letters to Timothy.
The Timothy letters are characterized by a unique warmth because Paul sees his young friend as his son in the Lord. As Paul counsels Timothy on practical Christian living and teaching and church organization, the tone is that of a mentor deeply interested in the progress of his protégé. " " The Letters to Titus.
This short letter was written to Titus, one of Paul's converts and a frequent traveling companion, and the leader of the church in Crete. Here, as in the Timothy letters, there is a strong personal note along with practical instruction. " " The Letters to Philemon.
The shortest of Paul's letters-twenty-five verses-is often overlooked in Bible studies.
But as we will see in Lesson 8, it offers rich insight into the heart and spirit of Paul as he communicates with one of his close friends. " According to the Preface: " In these eight lessons we come now in our studies to four highly important letters credited to the Apostle Paul. These are unique in that they are directly addressed to a person instead of to a church or group of churches. " " 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus are commonly referred to as the Pastoral Epistles, having received this designation from a Bible scholar early in the eighteenth century.
The designation is most appropriate because they were written by a chief pastor to pastors and leaders of local church congregations about the administration and daily life and work of the church. " Contents includes: " LESSON 1
