This new volume on 1 &2 Thessalonians brings together all the relevant aids to exegesis - linguistic, textual, archaeological, historical, literary and theological - to enable the scholar to have a complete knowledge and understanding of this old testament book. Donfried incorporates new evidence available in the field and applies new methods of studies. No uniform theological or critical approach to the text is taken. >
