A combination of explanations and study questions form the basis of this commentary by Christopher Green. Chris brings alive the Apostle Paul’s urging to keep the faith, despite our fears and failings.
In an increasingly pluralistic and secular age, what could persuade a person to give up an attractive career and enter full-time Christian ministry? In Finishing the Race, Chris Green encourages readers to identify with Timothy’s fears and failings. In turn, Chris also highlights Paul’s urging to his readers, both in his day and in ours, to keep the faith and finish the race.
