Paul's Thessalonian Letters -- Season Two/Episode Two: "Paul's Theological Categories"

Dr. Kim Riddlebarger Season 2 Episode 2

Synopsis of Episode Two:  “Paul’s Theological Categories”

Paul was converted about 33 AD when Jesus appeared to him on the Damascus Road, revealing to Paul the content of the gospel he was to preach.  Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians was written around 50 AD, just short of twenty years after his conversion.  By this time, Paul has a settled theology–his basic theological categories are in place.  He applied these categories in Galatia in opposition to the Judaizers, and he now applies them in an entirely different set of circumstances in Thessalonica.  Paul is not making his doctrine up on the fly.  So, what was this “settled theology” and how does Paul apply these basic theological categories in his letters to the Thessalonians?
