1 | Genre of 2nd Timothy? | 2 Tim 2:15 | vikki.bbicesk | 178750 | ||

2 | Genre of 2nd Timothy? | 2 Tim 2:15 | mark d seyler | 178752 | ||
Hi vikki, 2nd Timothy is a letter. It is didactic, which is to say teaching, and as such contains many doctrinal statements. It is a letter from an apostle, and shows the heart and mind of an apostle. It is a letter from a person, to a person, and as such contains personal instructions and comments from Paul to Timothy. It is a letter to a pastor, and so it contains pastoral instruction, encouragement, and direction. It is a letter to a Christian, and so tells Christians how to live, how to serve, and what to expect. I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

3 | Genre of 2nd Timothy? | 2 Tim 2:15 | vikki.bbicesk | 178772 | ||
Thankyou very much for your input mark. The question actually asks us how the genre affects the interpretation of 2Timothy... so as a 'pastoral' letter I could mention what you said about interpreting it today as instructions, encouragement and direction for the governing of the church....Also I read on another site that it falls into the genre of logic...any thoughts? Peace and Love Vix |

4 | Genre of 2nd Timothy? | 2 Tim 2:15 | mark d seyler | 178774 | ||
Hi Vix, I'm not familiar with a genre called "logic". I have never thought of a book of the Bible that way. But that asided . . . This is for your homework? You may well benefit by choosing a short passage from this letter, and writing down how you understand that passage was meant by Paul to be understood by Timothy. Include how Timothy would have applied it to his life and ministry. Then include how you can take this information for your own life and ministry. God bless your studies! Love in Christ, Mark |
