More Description

Every serious student of the Bible desiresto understand the text, discover the biblical principles, and apply the truthsto his/her life. This commentary is designedto help students, pastors, and Bible teachers understand First and Second Thessalonians in a simple manner. Working from the popular New International Version (NIV), the author provides helpful commentary on the text verse by verse.This verse-by-verse commentary is different from others in two respects. First, it is brief while some commentaries are unnecessarily wordy and verbose. Second, it is Pentecostal in outlook. This implies that we generally adhereto the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and adopt a literalist approachto the interpretation of the Bible.the major aim of this commentary isto expose readersto First and Second Thessalonians. It is written primarily for the busy pastor, Sunday school teacher, or Christian leader who desiresto better understand Paul's messageto the Thessalonians.First Thessalonians encourages believersto endure persecution, while Second Thessalonians corrects a wrong understanding of the "day of the Lord." These epistles were designedto help the church in Thessalonica face suffering in a Christ-centered manner, and they can do the same for believers today.
