The Letters to the Thessalonians (Pillar New Testament Commentary)

2 reviews
Gene L. Green

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2002

Top Quality
While there have been a number of good commentaries produced on Thessalonians over the years, there have been no quite recent works of substance. Somewhat older evangelical standards include Morris (NIC, 1959), Bruce (WBC, 1982), and Wanamaker (NIGTC, 1990). Thus this new volume is a welcome, and long-overdue, addition. It is quite new (2002) and part of the Pillar Commentary series; a series ...

Ben Witherington III

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2006

Thessalonians ... Witherington style
Ben Witherington appears to be a unique combination of an updated and expert ancient linguist, master of the Bible as we know it + hundreds of Gnostic and ancient commentaries, and a "what were they thinking" inquisitiveness that transports the time and place of Paul's world into current focus. His Thessalonians I & II is consistent with his other `graduate level' books of the Bible deep ...

NIV Application Commentary 1 & 2 Thessalonians

Michael W. Holmes

Zondervan, 1998

Solid Commentary On 1 and 2 Thessalonians
For a solid, orthodox commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians, this is a good choice. Michael W. Holmes wrote just before Y2K (1998) so eschatology was a hot topic then and is, I believe, a major challenge for the church today. I read this commentary almost non-stop cover to cover. Eschatology plays a big role in Christian theology because knowing the end of the story--Christ wins out over ...

The Ignatius Study Bible: The Letters of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians, Timothy and Titus (Ignatius ...

2 reviews
Scott Hahn, Curtis Mitch

Ignatius Press, 2007

A significant Bible publishing project
Scott Hahn and Curtiss Mitch's annotation of Ignatius Press's Catholic Edition of the RSV New Testament is a work in progress. I have been buying it up volume by volume as soon as they can publish them, and I think it is far superior to any other annotated version of the NT out there. It offers footnotes cross referenced to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and citing the Fathers of the ...

The Letters to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thessalonians: The New Daily Study Bible

3 reviews
William Barclay

Westminster John Knox Press, 2003

Highly recommended
Dr. William Barclay (1907-78), an ordained minister in the Church of Scotland and Glasgow University Professor, is largely remembered today for his seventeen-volume Daily Study Bible. This book is part of the revised edition, which came out in 1975, and uses the Revised Standard Edition of the Bible, rather than the Authorized (King James) Version. In this book, each of the three sections begins ...

First and Second Epistles to the Thessalonians (New International Commentary on the New Testament)

2 reviews
Leon Morris

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1991

The First and Second Epistles to the Thessalonians (NICNT)
Morris' exegetical work is phenomenal! He paints vivid pictures of not only the Thessalonians themselves, but also the extent of Paul's thoughts and devotion toward these young and dynamic believers. This commentary proved not only useful and thought provoking, but accessible and lucid. Every serious student of the scriptures must attain a copy. Morris has once again hit a grand-slam.

WAITING FOR THE SECOND COMING

1 review
Ray C. Stedman

Discovery House Publishers, 1990

Biblical and today's standards of living
In my opinion: A book that tries to stand between being an academic one and a preaching. In fact it is much closer to the second. It has some traces of exegesis, but only to use them as a basis to proclaim the way we have to live as we wait for the second coming. A good book for someone who would like to compare the biblical principles and the today standards. Finally, the relevant town is ...

The Message of 1 & 2 Thessalonians: The Gospel & the End of Time/With Study Guide (Bible Speaks Today)

4 reviews
John R. W. Stott

InterVarsity Press, 1994

Helpful & Insightful
If you're at all familiar with Stott, you know that he is one of the finest Christian writers of the 20th century. Anything he writes is a pleasure to read in terms of sheer literary quality, perhaps even on the level of a C.S. Lewis. This commentary is no exception. As for substance, this is an excellent commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Stott's emphasis is more pastoral and practical than ...

G. K. Beale

InterVarsity Press, 2003

Great Commentary
This is an excellent commentary on the Thessalonian letters. Beale brings technical expertise, theological acumen and pastoral wisdom to bear in this commentary. This combination is what makes this one of the best commentaries available on these letters.

God's Masterwork: II Thessalonians through Revelation (Bible Study Series , Vol 5)
Charles R. Swindoll

Thomas Nelson, 1998

Because of persecution, first century Christians needed the reminder of who Jesus was, is and is to come as described in the last 14 books of the Bible. Today, we still need to stand fast in our faith, to demonstrate it and hold on to its promises. This study encourages believers to look back at Jesus' cross, teaches how to live in light of His present reality, and stimulates the longing for His return.

Charles R. Swindoll

Thomas Nelson, 1997

A "must have" for your library
This book is the fourth in a series of five books by Charles Swindoll and his team of writers. This book surveys the first 13 books of the New Testament section of the Bible. It begins with "Matthew" and ends with "First Thessalonians". I like this book for at least four reasons. Firstly, there is an informative and factual study of the period between the Old and New Testaments before it ...
