Starting point of the search for the purpose of 1 Timothy is the assumption
of basic similarities between this letter and letter writing in Greco-Roman
antiquity. This means that 1 Timothy is designed for an oral performance in
front of an audience. The analysis concentrates on the so far neglected
classical duties of the speaker: memoria and pronuntiatio. This means the
memorized performance in front of an audience. 1 Timothy shows many
mnemotechnical devices and puts certain terms in focus. This shows what
expressions the audience has to memorize and what aspects show
prominence. The result of this can be formulated as the purpose of 1
Timothy: Paul wants to confirm Timothy in his mandate to guard the gospel
from being changed through a resolute dismissal of wrong teachings and an
ethic that honours God and men. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (New Testament)
