- John Calvin, Titus (Electronic ed. Albany, OR: Ages Software, 1998. Print. Calvin’s Commentaries).
- Calvin’s commentary will skillfully focus on intricate details like word studies, individual verse meanings, and Pauline writing styles.
- Ben Witherington III, Letters and Homilies for Hellenized Christians: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on Titus, 1-2 Timothy and 1-3 John (Downers Grove: IVP Academic, 2010).
- Witherington provides wonderful sources to consider. He will pull in the social structure, cultural norms, and historical meaning in captivating ways.
- N. T. Wright, Paul for Everyone: The Pastoral Letters: 1 and 2 Timothy, and Titus (Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2004).
- Wright does an excellent job of looking at the text like a road map. He is looking for thematic patterns, how various areas of the book tie into each other, and the meaning and significance of the larger passages.
