Survey The River
Build the lens first: who wrote the book, when it was written, who heard it first, and why it exists.
Question 1
Who wrote it, to whom, and what problem are they fixing?
Question 2
What is the argument's logic — what claim, what reason, what therefore?
Question 3
What does this letter call this church (and me) to do?
The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians is a Pauline epistle from the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle, with Timothy as a co-author. Its authorship is disputed, with critical commentators being evenly divided on Pauline authorship.
