Welcome to PastoralEpistles.com.

This site hopes to serve as a respository for information on the Pastoral Epistles. Whether the information is in print or online, we hope to eventually catalogue it here.

In addition, this site is a blog. It uses custom-written software that allows authors to post blog entries, links to articles on PastoralEpistles.com and bibliographic entries of all sorts.

The software that serves up PastoralEpistles.com should be considered under development and in beta form. A few essential bits still need to be written (RSS support, for one), but the basics of composing, submitting and viewing articles seem solid enough.

Who Runs This Thing?

My name is Rick Brannan. You can read a little more about me on my personal home page. I've always liked the Pastoral Epistles and for the past two years have spent much of my personal study time in these three books of the New Testament.

I've been keeping notes and generating all sorts of data along the way. My own personal home page has been updated piece-meal along the way, and it was just getting too difficult to maintain.

In addition, I wanted to start an annotated bibliography of books that come in handy when studying the Pastoral Epistles. Not just books, but journal articles and internet sites as well. So I decided to write the code to make all of this happen. Hopefully the code stands the test and is able to serve up data for those interested.

So, this site is a bit of a mongrel. Part blog (I'll still be keeping my own personal blog, don't worry), part annotated bibliography, and part ... well, part something else.

I'm very interested to know what you think of this concept. Drop me an email using the address posted on the side.

If you'd like to write an article, or if you've written something on your own web site that you'd like me to point to, please feel free to send an email to the listed submissions address.

Thanks! And enjoy PastoralEpistles.com!
