The Second Letter to the THESSALONIANS - Introduction to 2 Thessalonians
The Second Letter to the THESSALONIANS
Introduction to 2 Thessalonians
As noted in the Introduction to 1 Thessalonians, I have chosen to write a separate Introduction to the second letter so that it will be recognized as having its own “place in the sun” as a Pauline document, and not simply get absorbed in the Introduction to the first letter. However, in this case I will forego the material that is common to both letters and concentrate on the matters that are pertinent only to this letter on its own. Thus I will here deal with only the first and third matters from the previous Introduction: Authorship and Date, and Occasion for Writing.
