Fascination with the end times is not just a recent phenomenon. The young church at Thessalonica, having taken root during Pauls brief stay there, pondered when the end might come as well. Paul, in order to instruct them more fully, wrote them two letters, which taken together expound the "already-and-not-yet" character of the end times. His instruction and counsel can serve us well today.Throughout this commentary, G. K. Beale explains what each letter meant to its original hearers and its application for us today.

In the first century, the Thessalonian church grieved deaths in their community, endured harsh persecution, and struggled with questions about the future. Paul offered them the comforts and reassurances of hope in the Messiah, but he offered far more than mere wishful thinking or pie in the sky comfort. Pauls emphasis on hope in Jesus involved capturing a vision of Gods redeemed and just future in order to see and live faithfully today. Paul did not believe in a passive hope but an active hope, to which, if the Day of the Messiah is a beacon, believers diligently move having set their course. That diligence is especially captured by love for Christian brothers and sisters, commitment to honest and productive work, and obedience to the truth of the gospel of Jesus.

"Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep." (1 Thess 4:14).The epistles of the New Testament provide unparalleled insight into the realities of the life of the early church, guidance for those called to lead the church, and comfort in the face of pressing theological questions. Among those letters are 1 and 2 Thessalonians, which address questions about the expected return of Christ, the pastoral epistles of 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus, written to two of Pauls coworkers who were overseeing early churches, and Philemon, which concerns the relationship between a slave and his master.The Protestant Reformers of the sixteenth century also found wisdom and guidance in these letters. For example, Martin Luther reminded the Christians of his day that Paul had encouraged believers "not to sorrow over the dead as others who have no hope, but to comfort each other with Gods Word as having a certain hope of life and of the resurrection of the dead."In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture, Lee Gatiss and Bradley Green guide readers through a diversity of early modern commentary on the epistles of 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. Readers will hear from familiar voices and discover lesser-known figures from a variety of theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. Drawing upon a variety of resourcesincluding commentaries, sermons, treatises, and confessionsmuch of which appears here for the first time in English, this volume provides resources for contemporary preachers, enables scholars to better understand the depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, and seeks to bring guidance and comfort in the midst of todays challenges.

1-3 John treats the three letters of John as a unified epistolary package. Taking a thorough and scholarly approach, John Paul Heil proposes two important contributions to the study of 1-3 John. First, he presents new comprehensive chiastic structures for each of the three letters of John based on concrete linguistic evidence in the text. These chiastic structures serve as the guide to a better understanding of for whom Johns epistles were meant, and why they were written. Secondly, it treats these letters from the point of view of their worship context and themes. Not only were 1-3 John intended to be performed orally as part of liturgical worship, but together these three letters plead with their audience to engage in a distinctive kind of ethical worship. The three letters of John are most concerned with giving their audience the experience of living eternally by the worship that consists of loving God and one another.

Gott meint es gut mit uns Menschen. Und darum hat er uns 10 Gebote gegeben, damit unser Leben gelingen kann. Er kennt uns genau und wei, dass wir Orientierung und Werte brauchen, um im Leben zurechtkommen. Und darum gibt er uns Menschen 10 groartige Ratschlage die, wenn wir sie befolgen, dazu fuhren, dass das Leben gelingt. Und ein gelingendes Leben ist ein gesegnetes Leben! Von den 10 Geboten regeln 4 Gebote unsere Beziehung zu Gott und 6 Gebote regeln unsere Beziehung zu anderen Menschen. 10 groe Freiheiten, die die Beziehung zu Gott und den Mitmenschen regeln sollen! Gott liebt das Konkrete und das Prazise, um uns Menschen nicht zu uberfordern.

Ein Bischof hat dazu treffend angemerkt: Die Zehn Gebote sind eine brillante Analyse der Minimalanforderungen, anhand deren eine Gesellschaft und eine Nation ein nuchternes, gerechtes und zivilisiertes Dasein fuhren kann.

Si tuviéramos que destacar una idea dominante en 10 palabras clave ante el final de la vida, ésta bien podría ser la aspiración a un morir mejor, es decir, más humano, referido no sólo al instante postrero de la vida, sino, sobre todo, a su fase ultima, mas o menos larga. Porque el morir en nuestra sociedad es manifiestamente mejorable. Al perseguir este objetivo, no podemos olvidar que la mejora del morir tiene tantas caras como personas. Este punto es capital, pero si queremos trabajar lucidamente en el empeño, es necesario recordar que cada momento historico, cada sociedad, deja, en algun grado, su propia huella en la ultima etapa de la vida por medio de normas, leyes, costumbres, ritos, ideas eticas, practicas medicas, creencias, aspiraciones, temores, interrogantes, etc.Estas son las 10 palabras clave y los autores que las desarrollan: Morir, hoy (Salvador Urraca Martinez); Cuidados paliativos (Javier Barbero Gutierrez); Calidad de vida (Francesc Torralba Rossello); Muerte digna (Marciano Vidal Garcia); Dar malas noticias (Jose Carlos Bermejo Higuera); Limitacion del esfuerzo terapeutico (Juan Carlos Alvarez Perez); Alimentacion artificial (Juan Aristondo Saracibar); Eutanasia (Francisco Javier Elizari Basterra).

Guardini pronosticó que el siglo XX sería el de la Iglesia, y también lo es el siglo XXI. La renovación, puesta al día y reforma de la Iglesia que pretendían las corrientes renovadoras del siglo XX, y a la que apunto el Concilio Vaticano II, sigue siendo una tarea incompleta e irrealizada. Muchos problemas que afectan hoy al catolicismo son eclesiologicos. No basta con una renovacion espiritual, sino que es necesario un cambio institucional, para responder a los nuevos retos de la secularizacion, la laicidad del Estado y la sociedad, y el proceso vigente de globalizacion. Estas diez palabras (comunion, democracia, Iglesia, laicos, ministerios, mision, pobres, pueblo, sacramento, sinodalidad) se centran en temas eclesiologicos claves, en puntos de incidencia con vistas a la identidad y actualizacion catolica. No pretenden ofrecer un tratado sistematico sobre la Iglesia, sino abrir perspectivas en cuestiones vitales. El conjunto de autores y de temas de este volumen permite captar algunas de las problematicas que afectan hoy a la crisis del catolicismo en las modernas sociedades del Primer y Tercer Mundo
