The best way to look at the church's earliest times is through the Thessalonian epistles, many of these early church questions correspond directly to modern times, including 'What is the true Gospel?' 'How do you plant a church?'

1 & 2 Thessalonians analyses Paul's letters to the Thessalonian epistles, these letters were designed to reassure and encourage Christians, reminding them of love, faith and Godly living, whilst answering questions about the return of Christ. In Paul's second letter, Paul continues to explain any confusion over the return of Christ and advises the Thessalonians to remain steady in all that they have learnt, as the 'Wicked One' continues to lead evil and wickedness.

Richard Mayhue presents great skills in interpreting the text accurately with humour and modern parallels.
