he believers in Thessalonica had a problem. In fact, they had several problems. They were under attack by not only state and local authorities, but by pretenders to the faith who were out to subvert and control them. The two letters written to them embody key truths repeated many times in many ways to aid them in the fight for their faith. The three main points put forth in amazingly helpful detail covered: 1. The truth and authority of the Scriptures. 2. The certainty of eternal life they had attained. 3. The victory they now had in their lives and how to best live it out. We can easily see why these books are so relevant today as those who have trusted Jesus Christ face the same challenges faced by the Thessalonians. Gordon Haresign, internationally known author, professor, speaker, and chairman of the board of directors of Scripture Union, speaking about the Dynamic Bible Studies series produced by Scheeren, has said, These are among the finest, if not the finest, inductive Bible studies available today. I strongly endorse them.” This sentiment was echoed by Dr. Dilo Paul, a materials scientist, who said, “I love these studies as they guide me through finding the answers to questions that arise during Bible study from the Bible itself.” Steve White, Ph.D., author, church consultant and Executive Pastor of the Mountain Life Church in the greater Salt Lake area, said, “Fred hits a great blend of commentary, historical context, and practical application. The study questions are clear, thought-provoking and relevant. I could easily recommend this for either individual or group study.” Robert T. Mason, former executive at an international firm and in his second career as a pastor said, “Fred has done it again!! He has a great way of opening up and explaining the Word of God.”

The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God’s Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions that help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) “Gospel Glimpses” that highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) “Whole-Bible Connections” that show how any given passage connects to the Bible’s overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) “Theological Soundings” that identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible. Over the course of 12 weeks, this study connects Paul's letters to the Thessalonians to the lives of Christians today. These epistles encourage readers by reminding them of the salvation God will bring to all those whom he has called—strengthening them to pursue lives of holiness and love as they anticipate Jesus's return.

Paul's two letters to the Thessalonians stand as some of the very earliest Christian documents, yet they appear well into Paul's missionary career, giving them a unique context well worth exploring. In this first full-scale socio-rhetorical commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Ben Witherington gleans fresh insight from reading Paul's text in the light of rhetorical concerns and patterns, early Jewish theology, and the first-century historical situation in Macedonia. Witherington's distinctive socio-rhetorical approach helps unearth insights that would otherwise remain hidden using only form criticism, epistolary categories, and traditional criticism. Witherington details Thessalonica's place as the "metropolis" of Macedonia, and he carefully unpacks the social situation of Paul and his recipients. Scholars will appreciate the careful analysis and rhetorical insights contained here, while Witherington's clear prose and sensitivity to Paul's ideas make this work ideal for all who desire a useful, readable commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians.
