Newly planted, the Thessalonian church grew in strength as it spread the gospel in the surrounding area. But some theological and moral problems also grew. To build up and correct these believers Paul addressed many issues which concern Christianas today. With scholarly rigor and pastoral care, John Stott opens up these important letters to us in a way that will enlighten our minds, encourage our hearts, and lift our souls to worship the God of the gospel and of time. John Stott is the editor of this series. He was rector of All Souls Church in London for twenty-five years and is a well-loved writer and speaker.
