Digital Logos Edition
1 & 2 Timothy and Titus are letters of counsel from the heart of a pastor. In them, Paul gives encouragement, instruction, and practical ministry advice fitting not only for his recipients but for modern readers. The book of Philemon deals with the Gospel within the context of complex cultural and social arrangements. How does the Gospel apply to an escaped slave? Ironside’s commentary outlines the key themes of each of these books in accessible and easy-to-understand language.
Harry Allen Ironside, one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers, was born in Toronto, Canada on October 14, 1876. Though his education stopped with grammar school, his fondness for reading and a retentive memory put his learning to use. His scholarship was recognized in academic circles when he received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was invited as frequent lecturer at Dallas Theological Seminary. Dr. Ironside was appointed to the boards of numerous Bible institutes, seminaries, and Christian organizations. He also served as director of the Africa Inland Mission. Ironside preached widely throughout the United States and abroad. He served as pastor of Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and during his lifetime, he preached more than 7,000 sermons to over 1.25 million listeners.
“There were no Theological Seminaries, no Bible Institutes where people could go for a quick training in spiritual truths and practical work; but the older took the younger with him. Barnabas took Mark with him in early days, and later Mark became the companion of Peter; Paul took different ones with him on various occasions, Timothy, Titus, Silas, and others; and in this way the younger men gained experience and confidence until they were able to launch out independently for the Lord.” (Pages 13–14)
“It is a poor kind of Christianity that rejoices in the fact that Christ has purchased for us eternal life through His death on the cross, yet refuses to identify oneself with Him in suffering and persecution.” (Page 231)
“Apparently, he was converted through the personal ministry of Paul, although the Apostle had never visited Colosse, where Philemon resided.” (Page 278)
“One of the first great responsibilities resting upon the people of God is supplication and prayer” (Page 51)
“Four things are brought before us here. The word ‘prayer’ suggests any kind of approach to God” (Page 51)
