Commentary,
1 Timothy 2:1-7, A.K.M. Adam, Preaching This Week,
WorkingPreacher.org, 2010.
- "This week's passage picks up and sustains the theological grounding of the offer of free grace for all (regardless of whether all receive that grace), and situates it in a practical context."
-
"Prayers and Peace," Mary Hinkle Shore, Pilgrim Preaching,
2010.
- "From a text in one of the pastoral epistles, a risky, subversive way of being Christian starts to come into focus: we do not pray for the powerful in order to be left alone by them. We pray so that our paths may cross with these people?in Christ."

- "This is a call to welcome all ? a place where all of God?s people have struggled at some point in their lives, or are still there and will or have come back out ? to worship ?a God who is more than a tribal deity, a God who must be one for all humans; and if God is to be fair, then there must be some principle by which all humans can respond to God: faith? (Luke Timothy Johnson, The First and Second Letters to Timothy, The Anchor Bible). "

- "If there is a role of mediation we fulfil it is solely to pass on what we freely receive, not to play god. People have enough trouble struggling with their gods than for us to place ourselves in that pantheon."
