In this episode of Help Me Teach the Bible, I have the second of a two-part conversation with Matt Smethurst on the books of 1–2 Thessalonians. Smethurst is the author of 1–2 Thessalonians: A 12–Week Study in the Knowing the Bible study guide series (Crossway). He’s also managing editor of The Gospel Coalition and an elder at Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky
In the second epistle to the Thessalonians, Paul picks up some of the same themes from his first letter, including a discussion of the mysterious “man of lawlessness.”
