Few New Testament letters reveal Paul’s heart for his people more than those he wrote to the church in Thessalonica.
As such, few model how pastors and congregations should love and serve each other more clearly than 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Despite all of the contextual differences that separate us from Paul’s original penmanship, pastors and congregants alike will benefit from Daniel Hyde’s useful commentary. Although 1 & 2 Thessalonians contain rich and oftentimes disputed theological truths, the core of Paul’s letters is one of passionate pastoral concern. Even his inspired writings about Jesus’s return emerge from his love for his spiritual family and a desire to show them the incomparable comfort of the gospel.
