The First and Second Letters to the Thessalonians. By Gordon D. Fee
It is a pleasure to read the work of such an experienced commentator. Fee has written commentaries on 1 Corinthians, Galatians, and Philippians, and has a sure sense of the balance that such a book needs.

| Summary: | It is a pleasure to read the work of such an experienced commentator. Fee has written commentaries on 1 Corinthians, Galatians, and Philippians, and has a sure sense of the balance that such a book needs. As author of Pauline Christology (2007), he has as well a clear picture in mind of Paul’s theology overall, and can fit 1 and 2 Thessalonians, which he himself admits are not ‘the “highlights” of the Pauline corpus’ (p. x), convincingly into this broader landscape. Fee is writing primarily ‘for the proverbial “busy pastor”’ and keeps in mind the different skills and interests likely in his readers. The main commentary expounds Today’s New International Version; the notes explore the Greek text. |
