To Walk and to Please God
A Theology of 1 and 2 Thessalonians
About this book
An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of 1 and 2 Thessalonians
Like Paul's other early churches, Thessalonica experienced great societal pressure to conform to the surrounding culture. But amid persecution, the Thessalonians remained faithful to their call to holiness as they patiently awaited Jesus's return. These epistles provide a positive and practical example of what Christians should believe and how they should behave today.
In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Andrew Malone explores 1 and 2 Thessalonians to highlight the life cycle of Christian discipleshipāturning away from idols, trusting in the gospel message, having hope that the Lord will return, and continually pleasing the one true God until that return. Through clear and engaging theological examinations, Malone expounds on predominant themesāenhancing gospel reputation, persistence in the face of opposition, Christian life within an unbelieving society, and moreāexplaining how they are relevant for the church today.
