WHO WROTE:  Paul.

 

 

WHAT TIME PERIOD IS COVERED:  52 A.D. - 68 A.D.?

 

 

WHEN WRITTEN:  This First Epistle to the Thessalonians was the first of all of Paul’s Epistles.  It was in all probability written from Corinth, where he lived for a “long time,” Acts 18:11 & 18 (one year and 6 months), early in the period of his residence there; about the end of 52 A.D.  The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians was probably also written from Corinth, and not many months after the first; for “Silvanus and Timotheus,” Second Thessalonians 1:1, were still with Paul.
