Inductive Exegesis Paper -- Religion, Bible, Paul

CONTEXT Most NT Scholars acknowledge 1 Thessalonians was written by capital of Minnesota and dated around A.D. 50. The recipients were new(a) converted Christians in Thessalonica where capital of Minnesota saucily built the infant church building on the second missionary trip. To scan the reason why capital of Minnesota wrote the letter, we need to explore into the situation of Thessalonians church has dealt with. Acts 17 describes the church of Thessalonica was being non-stop attacked since it was set up. The attacks reflected in Paul wrote roughly bad word against the oppressors (1 Thess 214b) and reminded the Thessalonians he had warned them in before (34). The oppositions and attacks became so severely that Paul and his companions had to leave Thessalonica suddenly. They were continually chased in Beroea until they furthered to Athens. Since Paul has not spent much time in this infant church, he was so worry about the newly converters faith. Paul tried to go sustain to Thessa lonica exclusively he was blocked. (217-18). Then, he sent Timothy gage to Thessalonica to pasture them. Timothy finally brought back good news by reporting the church was standing firmly in faith (36), but might need more teaching in certain nation and of encouragement in trials. Paul obviously could not go back at that time and in this context he wrote the letters of 1 and 2 Thessalonians. The 1 Thessalonians consists two halves the first half (16-313) concerns Pauls original bring down to Thessalonica and the converters responses to the Gospel. The second half (41-522) is Pauls teaching on the Thessalonian believers about the adds of conduct and beliefs. In Chapter 4, Paul begins with Finally, brother (v.1) obviously indicating he is turning to a new set of topics to advise. After making advice on mai... ...Thess 413-18 expressed how Paul interprets the relation of Jesus resurrection and the Parousia. Since 1 Cor 15 Paul has also discussed the issue of Jesus resurrection, this passage, written early than 1 Corinthians, provides good cross reservoir for further investigation of how Paul viewing Jesus resurrection. And Paul expresses divergent Christ works and identities in this passage which providing good resources in preach and Bible study in the church.Question1.Paul does not clearly condone about the status of resurrection, is same as Jesus resurrection, is body resurrection (Jesus showed his pass and wound ribs to ten disciples and Thomas) or in other form?2. The indicatory depictions of word of command, archangel figures and trumpet of God have not been explored much in this paper for lack of space. I think we should think over more in detail.
