1-2 Thessalonians

First and Second Thessalonians address a young Christian community learning to live faithfully in hope of Christ’s return. The letters give sustained attention to holiness, suffering, Christian work and mutual care, the resurrection of believers, the coming of the Lord, the day of the Lord, and the man of lawlessness.

This full-length commentary follows the argument of both letters while engaging their historical setting, major interpretive questions, eschatological teaching, theological themes, and pastoral significance.
