Paul’s Letters to the Thessalonians are among the earliest writings of the New Testament. Written to a young church in the vibrant city of Thessalonica, these letters reveal Paul’s deep affection for a congregation that—unlike those in Corinth or Galatia—faced no major internal issues. Paul’s missionary strategy often involved planting churches in key urban centres of the Roman Empire, from which the message could spread across surrounding regions. Thessalonica was one such strategic hub.
One of the questions asked by the church at Thessalonica was about those who had died and the return of Jesus. Because of this, these letters are sometimes referred to as ‘The Second Coming Epistles’. Be sure to listen to Kevin Conner’s 15-part teaching series on this subject on his FREE podcast. It was released in April 2021.
In this insightful commentary, drawn from previously unpublished teaching notes, renowned Bible teacher Kevin Conner unpacks the timeless truths found in these epistles. His distinctive approach highlights the relevance of Paul’s words for today’s believers and churches. With practical applications and theological depth, this volume is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to live out the Christian faith and contribute meaningfully to the mission of God in the world.

What bible did your dad use he makes many references to marginal notes. Thanks paul
Good question, Paul. My dad loved the old King James Version (KJV) and all his commentaries are based on that translation. He also really enjoyed the Thomson Chain Reference edition of the King James Version and I think that is where the marginal references are that he refers to. Hope that helps. Mark
