Introduction to the Books Thessalonica Was the Capital of Macedonia Thessalonica was a strategically located city

Introduction to the Books Thessalonica Was the Capital of Macedonia Thessalonica was a strategically located city Thessalonica was a free city, governed by seven “politarchs” City was mostly Gentiles with a sizeable Jewish population Church Established on Paul’s Second Missionary Journey Upon arrival in Thessalonica, Paul went to the synagogue (Acts 17:1-3) Many were converted to the gospel that Paul as preaching, in the face of persecution (Acts 17:4-8) The Jews of the city (who were not converted) raised up a mob and uproar against Paul (17:5-14).

Introduction to the Books Paul Wrote First Thessalonians While on His Second Missionary Journey Paul wanted to return to Thessalonica to continue teaching the brethren, but he was hindered (1 Thess. 2:17-18) From Athens, Paul sent Timothy to teach and check on the brethren (1 Thess. 3:1-7). Paul continued his journey to Corinth (Acts 18), where he stayed 18 months. While in Corinth, Timothy returned to Paul with a report about Thessalonica (Acts 18:5; 1 Thess. 3:6-7). Paul wrote First Thessalonians from Corinth, shortly after Timothy’s return and perhaps only about six months since he was forced to leave (“short time,” 1 Thess. 2:17). Around 50- 51 A.D.
