The Pastoral Epistles mention good works, as the concept of blending faith plus good works becomes embedded in Christianity ("Deutero-Pauline and Pastoral Epistles" n.d.). The concept of faith is re-framed from one of personal commitment to one of belief in core Christian dogma, a "a body of propositions," ("Deutero-Pauline and Pastoral Epistles" n.d.). Terms that were uncommon in earlier writings like "epiphany" appear in the Deutero-Pauline texts, too. Most importantly, though, the Pastoral Epistles are important because they provide guidance to potential Church leaders who would be leading the flocks toward Christ.
