Colin R. Nicholl examines the situations giving rise to each Letter with a view to determining how the two relate historically. His book presents an original and compelling hypothesis, arguing that reflected in the Letters are two stages of a single crisis plaguing a recently formed Greek Church, which spiralled from hope into despair on account of confusion about 'the end'. In addition to making a fresh case for the authenticity of 2 Thessalonians and resolving one of the most difficult problems in the Bible - the identity of 'the Restrainer' - this monograph is a comprehensive analysis of the Thessalonian Epistles. It will provide an indispensable resource for scholars and pastors interested in the Thessalonian correspondence. 410 0$aMonograph series (Society for New Testament Studies) ;$v126. 676 $a227/.8106 700 $aNicholl$b Colin R.$01491663 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784316303321 996 $aFrom hope to despair in Thessalonica$93713578 997 $aUNINA
