Dr. Ryrie's admiration for these letters is clear: "These
epistles are like finely cut gems... From every part shine forth the
character and conduct of Paul's missionary heart, and they sparkle
with the brilliance of captivating power of the Gospel of
Christ."Paul's was basically satisfied, even thrilled, with the
progress of his flock. But he wanted to encourage them to go on in their
faith, to be strong in persecution, wary of temptation, and watchful for
the Lord's Second Coming.In Charles Ryrie's timeless commentary
on 1 and 2 Thessalonians, the great theologian illuminates Paul's
clear teaching for his strong but not infallible church in the powerful,
sensual city of Thessalonica. He shows how the apostle had to defend
himself and his conduct from charges of slander, and how Paul was
pleased with his recent converts and their vibrant, durable faith.But
despite Paul's favor, he wanted to clear up some misconceptions the
young church had about the Second Coming of Christ. In these two
letters, he corrects confusion about when Christ would come back, and
more important, he bolsters the hearts of this persecuted flock with the
glorious hope of Christ's resurrection, his return, and eternal life.
