Biblical Commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians

Written to a young church born under persecution, Paul's two letters to the Thessalonians address a question that remains always current: how to live in holiness while waiting for the return of Christ. In this commentary, Professor Jean Carlos da Silva goes through all eight chapters verse by verse and explains the most important Greek terms. He also develops the major themes of the epistles: sanctification, the resurrection of the dead, the rapture of the Church, the Day of the Lord, the manifestation of the Antichrist, and the value of work. Throughout the text, theological syntheses and practical applications bring Paul's teaching closer to the life of the church and those who lead it.
