About this book
In this second installment of A Life in Letters, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl once again weaves together details from the book of Acts and the Pauline Epistles, this time focussing on 1 and 2 Thessalonians. The result is a narrative commentary that is both highly engaging and easy to follow. The theological principles at the heart of Paul's writings are creatively explored in the context of his life and ministry, as readers are invited to accompany Paul – alongside Silas, Timothy, and Luke – on the first half of his second missionary journey. Footnotes provide a rich biblical backdrop to the narrative, as well as offering historical, cultural, and archeological insight into the world of first-century Christianity. LikePaul's letters themselves, this book offers readers compelling reasons to hope in times of external pressures and internal conflicts – for Christ is faithful to build his church.
