Digital Logos Edition
Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians focuses on two main concerns: restoring his relationship with the Thessalonian believers and encouraging them regarding the Lord’s return. In many ways, the letter centers on the theme of the Thessalonians’ separation—from Paul and his fellow workers, from Christ, and from believers who had died.
The Lexham Research Commentary is your starting point for study and research. Each volume gives you the tools you need to find answers quickly. This commentary is designed to do the time-consuming work of searching through commentaries, journal articles, and monographs to find the information you need, saving you valuable time by curating all of the best literature in one place—it’s a commentary on the commentaries. The annotated notes on the various viewpoints and interpretive options within the text allow you to quickly synthesize a broad range of views on a particular passage. Dense, jargon-filled research is distilled into easy-to-understand comments. As you critically study the text, the contextual notes help you place the passage within the narrow context of the biblical book and the broader context of the entire canon.
The Lexham Research Commentaries were formerly known as the Lexham Bible Guides.
