Overview
Newly planted, the Thessalonian church grew in strength as it spread the gospel in the surrounding area. But some theological and moral problems also grew. To build up and correct these believers Paul addressed many issues which concern Christianas today. With scholarly rigor and pastoral care, John Stott opens up these important letters to us in a way that will enlighten our minds, encourage our hearts, and lift our souls to worship the God of the gospel and of time. John Stott is the editor of this series. He was rector of All Souls Church in London for twenty-five years and is a well-loved writer and speaker.

Reviews - What do customers think about The Message of 1 & 2 Thessalonians: The Gospel & the End of Time/With Study Guide (Bible Speaks Today)?
 | ideal commentary Aug 11, 2005 |
This is classic Stott -- scholarly aware but relentlessly pastoral. This BST is my favorite series.
Stott's was the most helpful commentary I found for teaching and preaching. Also decent was Leon Morris (1991 - in the excellent NICNT series -- more technical than Stott); Leon Morris' earlier work in the shorter Tyndale series (1956); and the Ancient Christian Commentary (2000 - more novelty than practical help), vol. IX. | | | | Helpful & Insightful Jan 4, 2005 |
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 academic. Though he does occasionally discuss the Greek text, he does so in a way that is easily understandable by those not familiar with Greek. His insights are, well, insightful, and easily applied to the life of any Christian. I used this commentary to prepare a Sunday School lesson this summer; none of the other commentaries I consulted offered anything substantial that I did not already have from Stott. | | | Write your own review about The Message of 1 & 2 Thessalonians: The Gospel & the End of Time/With Study Guide (Bible Speaks Today)
