Titus--Apostolic Leadership

Titus, Paul's companion, is a stage 2 apostolic leader. This commentary explores his apostolic ministry. 49 leadership articles including a taxonomy of Apostolic ministries: Paul-Stage 1, Timothy-Stage 2, and Titus-Stage 3. Apostolic gift-mixes are explored for all three stages of apostolic ministry. Contextualization of Christian teaching into the situation in Crete is explored. The book of Titus teaches this basic overall theme: Setting the Church in Order involves the appointing of qualified leaders who are sound in teaching and who model a Christian lifestyle, and necessitates leaders who exhort others to practical Christian living.
