Robert Jewett -- Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary "A constructive dialogue on 1 Thessalonians. These ecumenical contributions push forward the quest to understand Paul's earliest letter." The Bible Today "The thoughtful essays and rich bibliography of this volume will make it a resource for scholarly work on this first of Paul's letter." Theology (UK) "Although there is no final consensus, the lively debate is very instructive; for students new to the field and for experienced scholars the book provides an introduction to the current debate about the methods of epistolary and rhetorical analysis and the problems associated with the study of Paul's purpose for writing the epistle."
