The Reliability of the Pastoral Epistles (1–2 Timothy, Titus) | Full Interview

I joined John DeRosa on Classical Theism to discuss the reliability and authorship of the Pastoral Epistles—1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus—and why the traditional view that St. Paul wrote them remains historically strong.In this conversation we walk through:How I got into New Testament textual criticism and early patristic sourcesWhat the “Pastorals” are and why scholars group them togetherModern scholarly views on the Pauline corpusThe earliest evidence for Pauline authorship (and why it matters)Major objections: vocabulary, church structure, and “developed theology”Additional lines of evidence often ignored in popular treatmentsPermission granted to share this interview on my channel.
