	2 Thessalonians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As in 1 Thessalonians, the use of the first person plural (verb forms and pronouns) occurs frequently in 2 Thessalonians, signifying that it is a joint composition of Paul, Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy (2 Thess 1:3, 4, 11, 2:1, 13, 15; 3:1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 11, 12).
		The tone of 1 Thessalonians is said to be so different from that of 2 Thessalonians that the same author could not have written both letters; it is supposed that a writer could not change his attitude towards his readers so drastically.
		If 2 Thessalonians was written before 1 Thessalonians, it is strange that there is no hint of this anxiety for the Thessalonians in that letter, nor any statement of a desire to return to the city to check on their condition (see 1 Thess 2:17-3:1).

	USCCB - NAB - 2 Thessalonians 2
		On this view, the writer seems to allude in 2 Thes 2:6-8 to Dionysiac "seizure," although, of course, ironically, somewhat as Paul alludes to witchcraft ("an evil eye") in Gal 3:1 in speaking of the threat to faith posed by those disturbing the Galatians (Gal 1:6-7; 5:10b).
		On this view of 2 Thes 2:2, the Greek participles katechon (rendered above as what is restraining) and katechon (the one who restrains) are to be translated "the seizing power" in 2 Thes 2:6 and "the seizer" in 2 Thes 2:7.
		On the alternative view (see the note on 2 Thes 2:1-17), the phrases should be referred to that which and to him who seizes (a prophet) in ecstasy so as to have him speak pseudo-oracles.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistles to the Thessalonians
		Moreover, the structure of the Epistle, its subject-matter, and its affectionate outbursts of prayer for the recipients and of exhortation are all decidedly Pauline characteristics.
		II Thessalonians was written at Corinth not long after I Thessalonians, for both Timothy and Silas are still with Paul (i, 1), and the silence of the Acts shows that, once Paul left Corinth, Silas was not again his companion in the ministry.
		There seem to be allusions in iii, 2, to the troublous stay of a year and a half at Corinth (Acts 18); in ii, 14, to the letter quite recently written to the Thessalonians; and in iii, 7-9, to the ministry of Paul among them as not long passed.

	2 Thessalonians 1 Supports Amillennialism
		As one might expect, none of the global issues connected to 2 Thessalonians 1 is new to the millennial debate.
		He observes that the revelation of Christ in 2 Thess 1:7 could "be understood as the whole complex of events, beginning with the Rapture and ending with the Second Advent." The passage groups together "various phases of end-time happenings.
		According to David Chilton and some other contemporary postmillennialists, not only 2 Thessalonians but most of the other NT passages that have traditionally been understood as describing the Second Coming are in fact describing the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. The language is figurative rather than literal.

	USCCB - NAB - 2thessalonians - Introduction
		A message involving a prophetic oracle and apparently a forged letter, possibly presented at a liturgical gathering (cf 2 Thes 2:2 and 1 Cor 14:26-33), to the effect that the day of the Lord and all that it means have already come, has upset the life of the Thessalonian church.
		The closing part of the letter (2 Thes 3:1-16) deals in particular with the apostle's directives and model style of life and with correction of disorderly elements within the community.
		Increasingly in recent times, however, the opinion has been advanced that 2 Thessalonians is a pseudepigraph, that is, a letter written authoritatively in Paul's name, to maintain apostolic traditions in a later period, perhaps during the last two decades of the first century.

		The authorship of 2 Thessalonians is hotly debated among students of the New Testament today.
		When considering the author of 2 Thessalonians from a Christian perspective, however, it seems first important to point out that the letter was either the product of Paul, or a complete forgery.
		It remains then, that there is no overriding evidence to assume that 2 Thessalonians is not authentically written by Paul - it has Pauline structure and language, and certainly claims to have come from his hand - therefore we can continue assuming Pauline authorship.

		In 1 Thessalonians the parousia, the coming of Jesus from heaven as apocalyptic judge and redeemer, is imminent.
