2 Thessalonians Simplified

Author & Audience

Author = Paul

Probably Written Not Long After 1 Thessalonians was Written

Audience = Church in Thessalonica

They Were Still Being Persecuted, But Remaining Faithful

But They Were Also Still Dealing with the Problem of Laziness in Some of Their Members

Purpose

Not Much has Changed Since the 1st Letter

So the Purposes for this Letter are Similar to His Purposes for the 1st

To Praise and Encourage These Persecuted Believers

To Correct Some Misunderstandings About Jesus’ Return

To Urge Them to Not Be Lazy, But Work for a Living
