The Pastoral Epistles (Titus, 1-2 Timothy) and Polycarp to the Philippians are uniquely similar among early second-century Christian texts. Gathered for the first time into a single volume for ease of study, these are the only texts to combine the traditional Roman Household Code with the emerging Church Order: the church, as they see it, is the household of God. The texts also share a concern for the corrosive effects of greed and explore the question of what price is worth paying for unity. This dynamic rather than literal translation by Pervo of this collection remains true to the everyday Greek original, and includes the Greek text, notes, and an introduction.
