Thessalonians

Key Facts:

• 1-2 Thessalonians are likely the earliest two letters of Paul we have in the Bible. 

• They were written in late 51 or early 52 while Paul was in the city of Corinth on his second missionary journey (Acts 18)

• The church in Thessalonica was started shortly before Paul wrote these letters. After a short ministry in the city, Paul was forced to leave town. You can learn the whole story by reading Acts 17 and listening to the backstory to the letters. 

• Thessalonica was an important port city in the region of Macedonia, and still is today.
