Titus was left in Crete to appoint elders and to correct a church troubled by empty talkers. This volume works through the qualifications Paul lays down for elders, the rebuke of false teachers, the instruction given to older and younger men and women and to slaves, and the two great doctrinal passages on the grace that trains us and the washing of regeneration, showing how doctrine and behavior belong together.

Each volume in the MacArthur New Testament Commentary works verse by verse through the Greek text, explains the passage in its context, and presents its theology with precision, in the service of expository preaching rather than academic debate. The series is written for pastors preparing sermons, teachers preparing lessons, and any believer willing to study carefully, and it is the fruit of more than five decades of pulpit ministry at Grace Community Church.
