Exploring 1 and 2 Thessalonians
Exploring 1 and 2 Thessalonians
Do you enjoy reading other people's correspondence, especially the letters of famous people? This book explores two of the great Apostle Paul's earliest epistles, those to the Thessalonian church. In them he bares his heart to reveal his love for those he led to Christ, and his concern for their welfare, as he provides instructions to new Christians. We also learn something of his travelling companions, his hopes and fears, his personal concerns, his passionate concern for the truth, and much about the Return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Read this book to learn how to live the Christian life, how to avoid false doctrine, and how the Thessalonians' zeal and the Apostle's teaching can be applied to your own life.
