Endorsements and Reviews

“The Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series fuses solid biblical scholarship with sensitivity to Catholic faith and tradition. This volume by Nathan Eubank probes the background and content of Paul’s Thessalonian correspondence with great clarity and with full awareness of current scholarship on the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the text, while at the same time opening the meaning of these Pauline letters for the community of faith. An excellent work.”
—Donald Senior, CP, president emeritus and professor of New Testament, Catholic Theological Union, Chicago

“Nathan Eubank shows how Paul sets forth a vision of Christians as the family of God, called to grow in love and holiness, in need of instruction about the hope of resurrection and the day of the Lord, and facing persecution and suffering. Not only that, Eubank cites Augustine, Bernard, Catherine of Siena, C. S. Lewis, Cardinal Journet, and others to show how the teachings of Paul echo richly through the ages, and he demonstrates how historical-critical and theological erudition unite to open our eyes to the word of God. These letters are written for us today!”
