Dr. Constable’s study of the two Thessalonian letters contains approximately 125 pages of skilled exposition. Paul’s first epistle to the Thessalonian church offers comfort and encouragement for those suffering on behalf of Jesus. The foundation for this offer is the certain return of the Lord Christ. As Constable notes, “In relation to Christian experience, the return of Christ is the final argument that produces faith.” Paul changes his tone to a corrective one in the second epistle to the Thessalonians. He writes to alter misconceptions that arose from his previous letter and teaches truth about the coming day of the Lord. After instructing the persecuted believers, he challenges them to courage and responsible conduct. Faith Footnotes: Constable’s Faith Footnotes are more detailed than notes found in a study Bible, but less technical than an academic commentary. As such, they are profitable for pastors, teachers and lay persons. Faith Footnotes provides commentary that spans all sixty-six books of the Bible and contains over 7,800 pages of notes. Each book in the Faith Footnotes series contains a review of the historical background, a summary of the purpose and message of the book, a detailed expositional outline, as well as extensive commentary on the book’s contents. Author Biography: Dr. Thomas Constable, a retired professor from Dallas Theological Seminary, crafted his extensive commentary notes over a thirty-year period. He continues to study in his retirement and updates his notes annually. Availability: Originally distributed to his seminary students and members of his church, Dr. Constable’s notes are also available for viewing and free download on his website (http://www.soniclight.com/constable/notes.htm). Authenticity Book House (ABH Books) intentionally offers free downloads on the first Monday of each month.
