Bible Question: What does genre mean when dealing with the Biblos? I'm looking for 2nd Timothy's genre if anyone has any thoughts... |
Bible Answer: 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 |
