The Return: A Biblical Commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians
How do we reassure those in a crisis of faith? What do we say to the grieving?
In "The Return: A Biblical Commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians," Dr. Thomas L. Constable shows us how the Apostle Paul inspired the Thessalonian believers who faced persecution and death. Paul’s first letter to the church comforts suffering Christians by giving them a hope grounded in Christ’s return.
Paul changes his tone in the second letter, correcting misconceptions the Thessalonians had about his first letter. He sheds light on events leading up to Christ’s return, and challenges persecuted believers to act courageously and responsibly.
