Description

Thessalonica was the capital city of the Roman province of Macedonia. Paul established the church there after he left Philippi. There was opposition from the Jews who were jealous of Paul's success in reaching non-Jews they had interested in Judaism. Paul was forced to leave and go on to Berea. When he reached Corinth he received a personal report from Timothy about the church situation he left behind.

Paul's first letter was written to encourage and reassure the Christians in Thessalonica. He gives thanks for their faith and love; reminds them of his example on godly living and answers questions about the return of Christ.

In his second letter we find Paul still dealing with confusion over the return of Christ, especially with those that believed that the Lord's coming had already arrived. He also shows that evil and wickedness will reach a crescendo under the leadership of a mysterious figure called 'the wicked one'. He tells them to remain steady in all that they have learnt.

Mayhue's skill in interpreting the text accurately but with humour and modern parallels comes through in this fascinating commentary.
