1 Thessalonians

Paul visited Thessalonica early in his second missionary journey, A.D. 50-52. In Paul's day, Thessalonica was the second largest city in Greece/Macedonia, trailing only Athens in size. Amazingly, Paul spends only "three Sabbath days" here before he has to leave town - or be lynched! Yet within six months the church in Thessalonica has become known all over the Roman world for its extraordinary faith. As a church born in the flames of persecution, the church at Thessalonica has several very important questions to ask Paul - especially about the Lord's return - and Paul addresses these questions in 1 Thessalonians. Enjoy the rich discussion Logos Bible Study's Dr. Bill Creasy brings to this book as he emphasizes Paul's words of faith, hope, and love.
