Paul wrote his first letter to the Thessalonians to comfort and encourage them He urged these new believers to watch for their Lord’s return and so live a life of committed holiness. In his commentary on the Thessalonian epistles, D. Edmond Hiebert assumes Paul’s concern for his own readers and makes his commentary practical for today’s believers. Hiebert maintains a tone of commentary with a pastoral insight for making Paul’s love and concern for the church come alive.
