first century. Even more, Jeon shows how the use of chiasms in 1 Timothy impact its audience, shaping and informing their comprehension of the content and their intended response by the author. In refreshing fashion, Jeon's analysis invites and enables a modern audience in the twenty-first century to inch closer to hearing the performance of 1 Timothy and experiencing the author's presence from nearly two thousand years ago. ""The second volume continues to provide a bountiful resource for reading 1 Timothy. Jeon unpacks rich theological insights through careful grammatical and lexical analysis which underscore the rhetorical structure and goals of 1 Timothy 3-4. Regardless of one's view on the letter's authenticity, Jeon's analysis provides ample material for pastors and students of 1 Timothy to engage anew the challenges early Christians found as members of God's household."" --Timothy Milinovich, Associate Professor of Theology, Director of Catholic Studies, Dominican University Paul S.
