Paul wrote his first letter to the Thessalonians to comfort and encourage them He urged these new believers to watch for their Lord’s return and so live a life of committed holiness. In his commentary on the Thessalonian epistles, D. Edmond Hiebert assumes Paul’s concern for his own readers and makes his commentary practical for today’s believers.
Hiebert maintains a tone of commentary with a pastoral insight for making Paul's love and concern for the church come alive. This commentary’s wide application of the original Greek and the author’s confident use of other commentaries and studies make this volume a handy tool for pastors and other church leaders. Yet, this work is not so exhaustive that the layman cannot benefit from it.
