While he agrees with commentators who note this letter's pastoral aims and character, he is more convinced than some that it also exhibits a rich and coherent theological point of view. Furnish interprets 2 Thessalonians as the work of an anonymous Paulinist writing several decades after the apostle's death. He regards this letter, too, as historically and theologically valuable, although less for what it discloses about Paul's ministry and thought than for what it shows about the reception and interpretation of Paul in the late first-century church.  aBible -- New Testament -- Commentaries  aBible -- NT -- Thessalonians -- Commentaries4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/12849/12.jpgyCover Image
