Understand the Context
As the title indicates, this letter was the first of two epistles written by Paul to the Christians in Thessalonica.
Located on the northern shore of the Aegean Sea, Thessalonica sat on the spot now occupied by the city of Thessaloniki.
In Paul’s day, it was the largest city and capital of the Macedonian province.
Its harbor and position along a major trade route (Via Egnatia) made it an important commercial hub.
As a free Roman city, it represented a balance of Greek and Roman culture.
