1 & 2 Timothy, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, Titus, Philemon

Russ Walden’s study, “Get Your Whole Bible Back!” offers a deep dive into Paul’s letters to Timothy, Thessalonians, Titus, and Philemon. This resource emphasizes the importance of expositional Bible study – reading and understanding every verse – over modern topical messages, as encouraged by Paul in 1 Timothy 4:13. Walden provides prophetic and revelatory insights into these books, aiming to powerfully impact your life.

About the Books

• 1 Timothy: Written to Paul’s protégé, Timothy, while he was serving in Ephesus. This pastoral epistle provides instructions on ministry, personal life, and church order. Scholars debate its exact authorship and dating (between 59 and 70 AD or later), often as a means to question divine inspiration.
• 2 Timothy: Paul’s second letter to Timothy, likely written from Roman imprisonment around 60 AD. Similar to 1 Timothy, its authorship and dating are debated by scholars who question the early church’s perceived level of organization, with some suggesting a later, pseudonymous author.
• 1 Thessalonians: Paul’s letter to the believers in Thessalonica, a port city in ancient Greece. Paul faced strong opposition from the Jewish community during his ministry there.
• 2 Thessalonians: Written by Paul from Corinth a few years after his first letter to the Thessalonians. While some scholars dispute its authenticity, the more widely accepted view is that Paul authored it, as indicated by his signature.
• Titus: Addressed to Titus, a Gentile co-worker of Paul who was instrumental in mending relationships with the Corinthian church. Paul appointed Titus to Crete. Its dating (around 65 AD) and authorship are often debated by scholars.
• Philemon: The shortest of Paul’s letters, written to Philemon, a house church leader in Colossae. Paul, writing from prison, addresses the issue of Onesimus, a runaway slave, seeking clemency on his behalf.
