Bryan County News II Thessalonians, Chapter 2
Dr. Lawrence Butler, The Bridge Church, Pembroke.
Introduction to II Thessalonians – The Apostle Paul is the author of this book, and identifies himself as such in 1:1 and 3:17. Apparently Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy were with Paul when he wrote this epistle. The date of this writing is thought to be somewhere around A.D. 51 or 52. The church at Thessalonica had a great revival as recorded in Acts 17: 1-4. Unfortunately, there was also great opposition. Some Jews believed and accepted Christ as Savior, and a great number of devout Greeks and chief women became Christians. But, a large number of Jews withstood the gospel and Paul had to leave. This pressure had continued to grow, and persecution soon broke out.
