This week’s version of Pastor’s Bookshelf is commentaries on 1 and 2 Thessalonians.

Because it’s my old stand-by, I turn first to F.F. Bruce, 1 & 2 Thessalonians (Word Biblical Commentary) (Vol. 45) but there are two recent commentaries that shake things up:

Charles Wanamaker, The Epistles to the Thessalonians: A Commentary on the Greek Text (New International Greek Testament Commentary)
.

Abraham J. Malherbe, The Letters to the Thessalonians (The Anchor Yale Bible Commentaries)
.

Then I turn to Ben Witherington 1 and 2 Thessalonians: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary
and to Ernest Best First and Second Epistles to the Thessalonians
.
