THNTC: 1 & 2 Thessalonians

A distinctively theological interpretation of the Thessalonian
letters.






In this commentary Andy Johnson engages with the developing
interpretive framework of missional hermeneutics to present a theological
interpretation of 1 & 2 Thessalonians that aims to help the church more
fully participate in the life and mission of the triune God.






After a verse by-verse commentary, Johnson closely examines the
theology of the two epistles, focusing especially on the topics of eschatology,
holiness, and election in light of his missional reading of 1 and 2
Thessalonians. In his exegetical and theological analyses, Johnson considers
canonical concerns, doctrinal commitments, ecclesial practices, proposals from
contemporary systematic theology, and insights gleaned from the field of
neuroscience regarding personal and community formation, all of which help to
clarify and enrich readers' understanding of various passages.
