Inductive Exegesis Paper -- Religion, Bible, Paul

CONTEXT Most NT Scholars acknowledge 1 Thessalonians was pen by capital of Minnesota and dated around A.D. 50. The recipients were new converted Christians in Thessalonica where capital of Minnesota newly built the infant church on the minute of arc missionary trip. To understand the reason why Paul wrote the letter, we need to research into the situation of Thessalonians church has dealt with. Acts 17 describes the church of Thessalonica was being non-stop attacked since it was set up. The attacks reflected in Paul wrote some bad word against the oppressors (1 Thess 214b) and reminded the Thessalonians he had warned them in before (34). The oppositions and attacks became so severely that Paul and his companions had to leave Thessalonica suddenly. They were continually pursue in Beroea until they furthered to Athens. Since Paul has non spent much time in this infant church, he was so worry about the newly converters faith. Paul tried to go back to Thessalonica but he was blocke d. (217-18). Then, he displace Timothy back to Thessalonica to pasture them. Timothy finally brought back near(a) news by reporting the church was standing firmly in faith (36), but might need more teaching in certain area and of encouragement in trials.

After making advice on mai... ...Thess 413-18 expressed how Paul interprets the relation of the Nazarene resurrection and the Parousia. Since 1 Cor 15 Paul has also discussed the issue of saviour resurrection, this passage, writ ten early than 1 Corinthians, provides adept cross reference for further investigation of how Paul viewing Jesus resurrection. And Paul expresses different Christ works and identities in this passage which providing unafraid resources in preaching and Bible study in the church.Question1.Paul does not clearly explain about the status of resurrection, is same as Jesus resurrection, is body resurrection (Jesus showed his hands and wound ribs to ten disciples and Thomas) or in other form?2. The apocalyptic depictions of word of command, archangel figures and trumpet of theology have not been explored much in this paper for lack of space. I think we should ponder more in detail.
