1-2 Thessalonians Hardcover - 2014

From the rear cover

"Weima has written a full and authoritative commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians that readers will want to consult regularly and frequently. He brings a wealth of previous research to bear upon his exegesis. The result is well-considered and includes thoughtful positions at almost every juncture. I am sure that this commentary will be widely used."
--Stanley E. Porter, McMaster Divinity College

"Is it possible for a commentary to be both technical and accessible, comprehensive and concise, academic and pastoral? Weima has produced precisely such a commentary on the Thessalonian Letters. One would be hard-pressed to find a full-length, up-to-date treatment of these letters that offers more than Weima's. Judicious in judgment, gracious in engagement, and clear in argument, this commentary catapults Weima to the front of an increasingly crowded field. It will become a standard, go-to resource for scholars, ministers, and students alike."
--Todd D. Still, Truett Seminary, Baylor University

"Already an acknowledged expert on the Thessalonian Letters, Weima offers fellow Christians a clear and erudite interpretation. This exegetical commentary now stands among the authoritative works on 1 and 2 Thessalonians."
--L. Ann Jervis, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto

"[This commentary] will become a reference work for future generations. . . . It pays close attention to the historical situation and the theology of 1-2 Thessalonians through detailed sustained exegesis of the Greek text. It is exhaustive in its scope but not exhausting to read because Weima masterfully negotiates the secondary literature while allowing the primary text the pride of place in evaluating the claims of previous scholarship. . . . This is an excellent commentary that will become a standard for libraries and scholars because of its detail and balance. I will set it as compulsory reading for my graduate students."
--Matthew D. Jensen, Bulletin for Biblical Research
