The Letters to the Thessalonians Paperback / softback
by Abraham J. Malherbe
Part of the The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries series
Paperback / softback
Description
In A.D. 49, Paul traveled to Thessalonica, a major city in northern Greece, to preach the gospel.
A small group of manual laborers responded positively to his message, resulting in the formation of a church.
After spending less than three months with his converts, Paul left the city for southern Greece, ending up in Corinth, from where he wrote two letters to the Thessalonians four months or so after he had left them.
These epistles are particularly valuable because they reveal the concerns of Christians new to the faith and Paul’s pastoral care as he guides them. Abraham J. Malherbe vividly describes the social, cultural, religious, and philosophical contexts in which the Thessalonians lived, enabling us to better understand Paul’s missives.
Detailed introductions to the letters, a new translation, and a lively, enlightening commentary make this an indispensable volume for scholar and layperson alike.
