The first and second Epistles to the Thessalonians : the English text with introduction, exposition, and notes

Leon Morris (Author)
"The writer's eminent scholarly and literary qualifications make his authorship of this volume in the New International Commentary particularly appropriate and welcome. While Dr. Morris offers a scholarly exegetical discussion of specific problems and details, there is pervading his exposition a sense of the relevancy and needs of his readers. The letters to the Thessalonians dwell richly upon the Christian's hope, but also, in this very connection, emphasize the meaning and earnestness of his calling in the present world. The reader is constrained to redeem the time even as he contemplates that salvation is nearer than when he first believed and that the end of the ages has come upon him. Careful to maintain a due balance between the interests of exact scholarship and the practical task or relating this portion of the New Testament message to the reader's personal faith, Dr. Morris has provided a commentary of extraordinary value for minister, scholar and layman."
