Titus — Book Overview

About this episode
The book of Titus is a manual for setting things in order. The Apostle Paul left his apostolic delegate, Titus, on the island of Crete, a place notorious for its liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons. His task was not to start a book club or a social program, but to establish order in the churches by appointing elders and teaching sound doctrine. We live in an age that is allergic to authority. The modern mind recoils at the very thought of submission. Our entire culture is built on the sandy foundation of personal autonomy, the right to be my own god, to define my own reality, to be subject to no one. We come now to the end of Paul's letter to Titus. The letter concludes not with a grand theological flourish, but with travel plans, logistics, and a charge to get two men the supplies they need for their journey.
