Introduction: There
is considerable variation of opinion as to how the prophetic portion
of this epistle (specifically 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12) should be interpreted. Therefore it is strongly
advised that you perform your own
Inductive Bible Study of
Paul's short letter
before you go to your favorite commentary or sermon. The venerable
Bible expositor Dr Warren Wiersbe adds that
The purpose of Bible prophecy is not for us to
make a calendar, but to build character. Paul emphasized this fact
in both of his Thessalonian letters, and our Lord warned us not to
set dates for His coming (Mt 24:36, 42). Date-setters are usually
upsetters, and that is exactly what happened in the Thessalonican
assembly.
And as
brothers and sisters in Christ we must always seek to be agreeable in
our disagreements, for as our Lord declared...
By this all men will know that
you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:35) |

James Rosscup writes "This
work (Gnomon), originally issued in 1742, has considerable comment on
the Greek, flavoring the effort with judicious details about the
spiritual life. It has much that helps, but has been surpassed by many
other commentaries since its day." (Commentaries
for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works
or
Logos)
Charles Haddon Spurgeon -- "'A Critical New
Testament, so compiled as to enable a reader, unacquainted with Greek,
to ascertain the exact English force and meaning of the language of
the New Testament, and to appreciate the latest results of modern
criticism.' Such is the professed aim of this commentary, and the
compilers have very fairly carried out their intentions. The whole of
Bengel’s Gnomon is bodily transferred into the work, and as one
hundred and twenty years have elapsed since the first issue of that
book, it may be supposed that much has since been added to the wealth
of Scripture exposition; the substance of this has been incorporated
in brackets, so as to bring it down to the present advanced state of
knowledge. We strongly advise the purchase of this book, as it is
multum in parvo, and will well repay an attentive perusal. Tischendorf
and Alford have contributed largely, with other German and English
critics, to make this one of the most lucid and concise commentaries
on the text and teachings of the New Testament" (Spurgeon,

Metropolitan Tabernacle) |

can be disabled if
the popups become distractive. This utility really does work and makes
it easy to read the actual passage in context and not just the chapter

DISCLAIMER: Before you "go to the commentaries"
go to the Scriptures and study them inductively (Click 3 part overview of
Inductive Bible study) in dependence on your Teacher, the
Holy Spirit, Who Jesus promised would
guide us into all the truth (John 16:13).
Remember that Scripture is always the best commentary on Scripture. Any
commentary, even those by the most conservative and orthodox teacher/preachers
cannot help but have at least some bias of the expositor based upon his training
and experience. Therefore the inclusion of specific links does not indicate that
we agree with every comment. We have made a sincere effort to select only the
most conservative, "bibliocentric" commentaries. Should you discover some
commentary or sermon you feel may not be orthodox, please email your concern. I
have removed several links in response to concerns by discerning readers. I
recommend that your priority be a steady intake of solid Biblical food so that
with practice you will have your spiritual senses trained to discern good from
evil (He 5:14-note). |
