The For Everyone Bible Study Guide: 1 and 2 Thessalonians offers series of eight short, question-based studies based around Paul for Everyone: Galatians and Thessalonians and designed to encourage individuals and church groups to study the Bible using the For Everyone model. Experienced Bible study writers have selected excerpts and written questions that guide users through the thought of Tom Wright on each passage. These have been reviewed, edited and approved by Tom Wright.
Creation is in anguish. Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians, as well as the merest glance at our world, shows this clearly. The Church shares in the suffering, groaning in the tension between the ‘already’ of possessing the fruit of the Spirit and the ‘not yet’ of our present existence. Paul, however, also makes it abundantly clear that God doesn’t stand apart from the pain. Rather, he entered it through Jesus and dwells in the middle of it in the Spirit. These studies present the whole picture of a suffering, sinful world and God’s deep love, still working today to reconcile that world to himself.
