Second Epistle To The Thessalonians
The second epistle to the Thessalonians is a book of the New Testament attributed to Paul of Tarsus, but the author and the destinations are discussed. It assumes an eschatological responding to the debate on the Second Coming of Christ , the " Lord's Day ", which appears to shake some Christian communities in the second half of the first century.
Summary |
These points are discussed depending on whether one adopts the perspective of a Pauline origin or not. It ignores the place of writing text and for a long time, it was considered that this was a letter from Paul of Tarsus to the community of Thessaloniki while he was at Corinth , during his first visit to Europe to 50.
Various researchers now believe it was possibly written in Pauline circles to a period of between 70 and 80 or between 80 and 100 if one relies on the context of eschatological excitement. If tradition is the community of followers of Christ present in Thessaloniki recipients of the letter, the debate remains open again because the text can also apply to any community Pauline tradition that would have been in contact with the First Epistle to the Thessalonians : The title of the second epistle was indeed added after the original writing. It seems that these communities have been shaken Pauline tradition by announcing the second coming of Christ heavenly author of the epistle attempts to allay fears by proposing a new eschatological model that tends to refute a position that "Lord's Day" has already arrived. New Testament articulation The mission of Paul in Thessalonica is described in Acts 17. He wanted to return but could not do (1 Thessalonians 2:18). So he sent Timothy to comfort the converted and tell them how he was. He wrote the first epistle to express his gratitude at the return of Timothy. The text consists of three parts, preceded by a thanksgiving and an address - indicating Timothy Paul and his staff as perpetrators and Sylvain - then followed by an epilogue and greetings. The first part articulates the arguments opposing the position that this eschatological parousia as accomplished. The author describes or points out a series of events which must precede the coming of Christ and warns recipients cons dubious information about it. The second part , more heterogeneous, is composed of a new thanksgiving, a prayer and various recommendations. The third part is an exhortation which raises Paul of Tarsus as an example to follow proposed disordered leading to "a life (...) contrary to tradition." Structure
