Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Paul's Epistles to the Thessalonians: The Greek Text With Introduction and Notes The Epistles to the Thessalonians can hardly be said to have received at the hands of English scholars the attention they deserve, in view not only Of their own intrinsic interest, but of the place which they occupy in the Sacred Canon. They are generally believed to be the earliest Of St Paul's extant Epistles, and, if so, are, in all probability, the Oldest Christian documents of importance that have come down to us. Certainly no other of the Pauline writings give us a clearer idea Of the character Of the Apostle's missionary preaching, or present a more living picture Of the surroundings Of the primitive Christian Church. A detailed study Of their contents is essential, therefore, to a proper understanding Of the Apostolic Age, and forms the best introduction to the more developed interpretation Of Christian thought, which we are accustomed to describe as Paulinism. This must be made the excuse for the length at which certain subjects bearing on St Paul's language and teaching as a whole are dealt with in the Introduction, and also for the numerous references to recent literature dealing with these points, which will be found especially in the foot-notes. Writing as I have had to do far from a Library, the difficulty I have experienced in keeping abreast of the advances of modern scholarship has led me to believe that those similarly Situated may be glad to be directed to the sources where they are most likely to find help.
