Magisterial
Format: Hardcover
This is a simply magisterial commentary, and almost certainly the best yet on 1-2 Thessalonians. Not only does Weima present a balanced study of the backgrounds and the text itself, but his commentary serves as a thorough catalog of the secondary literature. He is fair and even-handed with positions he disagrees with, often spending more time explaining them than other commentaries do on their own preferred stance. The result is an empowerment of the reader to make their own informed decision, without being left in the dark about where Weima himself stands. This commentary fleshed out and clarified not only my grasp of the titulary subject matter, but also epistolary form and conventions across the NT. It bears the fingerprints of long and careful study, and deserves a place on the bookshelf of scholars and serious laymen alike.
