Title
“We Toil and Strive Because We Have Our Hope Set on the Living God”: God’s Life and the Pastor’s Hope
Tim fox
Abstract (from the Editorial of CPTJ vol. 10.2)
Tim Fox offers a fascinating dialogue between the theme of hope and the life of God in 1 Timothy and the Reformed scholar Petrus van Mastricht. Fox suggests that the interweaving of hope and God’s life runs through 1 Timothy as a critical theme. He then connects this theme to the work of a Reformer, showing in action how the biblical text informed Mastricht as a pastor theologian. Through this dialogue, Fox calls us to our work as those whose hope is anchored in the living God.
