Pastor's Bookshelf: 1-2 Thessalonians

Thursday July 16, 2009

Categories: Commentary Recs
Paul.jpgThis week's version of Pastor's Bookshelf is commentaries on 1 and 2 Thessalonians.

Because it's my old stand-by, I turn first to F.F. Bruce, 1 & 2 Thessalonians (Word Biblical Commentary) (Vol. 45) but there are two recent commentaries that shake things up:

Charles Wanamaker, The Epistles to the Thessalonians: A Commentary on the Greek Text (New International Greek Testament Commentary) .

Abraham J. Malherbe, The Letters to the Thessalonians (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries) .

Then I turn to Ben Witherington 1 and 2 Thessalonians: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary and to Ernest Best First and Second Epistles to the Thessalonians .

Never have been able to write the first comment so now I can say I did!

I think Beverly Gaventa's commentary in the Interpretation series is excellent as well. It is very readable for pastors.

Scot,

I realize it was just released two days ago...but have you had a chance to page through Fee's NICNT 1&2 Thess update? I'm planning to pick it up tomorrow during my weekly visit to Eerdmans...one of the many perks of living in GRap, MI :)
