Overview

En este comentario innovador de las cartas a los Tesalonicenses, su autor, Charles A. Wanamaker, incorpora el interesante enfoque que la ciencia social aporta para comprender plenamente el contexto social que llevó al apóstol Pablo a escribir estas cartas. Wanamaker no ignora los tratos tradicionales de la crítica histórica, lingüística, literaria y teológica de la escritura de un comentario de esta naturaleza. Es más, en determinados momentos presenta una contribución significativa a las cuestiones pertinentes a la exégesis tradicional. Sin embargo, el autor nos lleva más allá de escritos previos sobre la correspondencia tesalónica al tomar en cuenta seriamente las dimensiones sociales tanto del cristianismo en Tesalónica como del texto de ambas cartas. Al combinar los métodos exegéticos tradicionales con este nuevo acercamiento, Wanamaker busca entender el cristianismo paulino en Tesalónica como un movimiento socio-religioso en el primer siglo del mundo greco-romano, e intenta comprender el carácter social y la función de las cartas de Pablo dentro de ese contexto. In this innovative commentary Charles A. Wanamaker incorporates what may he called a social science approach to the study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, taking into full account the social context that gave rise to Paul's correspondence. While Wanamaker in no way ignores traditional historical-critical, linguistic, literary, and theological approaches to writing a commentary--in fact, at several points he makes a significant contribution to the questions raised by traditional exegesis--at the same time he goes beyond previous commentaries on the Thessalonian correspondence by taking seriously the social dimensions both of Christianity at Thessalonica and of the texts of 1 and 2 Thessalonians themselves. In blending traditional exegetical methods with this newer approach, Wanamaker seeks to understand Pauline Christianity at Thessalonica as a socio-religious movement in the first-century Greco-Roman world and attempts to grasp the social character and functions of Paul's letters within this context. A significant and original addition to the literature on 1 and 2 Thessalonians, this commentary will be valuable to scholars, pastors, and students alike.
