The Living Word of the Living God - Biblical Commentary on the Book of I Thessalonians

By D. Earl Cripe

D. Earl Cripe, Ph.D (1934-2011) held firmly to Historic Orthodox Christian Theology that the Bible is the only guide to the faith and practice of the Church. Towards that end during his more than forty-seven years of ministry he penned numerous volumes of expository Bible commentaries. In them he takes the reader verse-by-verse through the chosen book of the Bible, explaining the original meanings and intentions along with the applications to the life of the serious believer of Christ in simple language that anyone can grasp. They are essential reading for the serious Christian looking to further their understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

This volume is a verse-by-verse study of the Book of First Thessalonians. St. Paul visited Thessalonica (with Silas and Timothy) during his second missionary journey, and introduced Christianity there. The first site of the Apostle's evangelism at Thessalonica was at a synagogue there, and a growing church was established which consisted more of Gentiles than Jewish members. This letter was likely written not long after St. Paul left the city, and contains many tender, caring and instructive words for this body of believers, which we have been blessed to still have today for our own edification. St. Paul discusses such topics as the return of Christ, and what that will look like, prayer, how those in the Church should behave, and a number of others. We believe this study of St. Paul's writings will bless the reader who is seeking the true things of God.
