there are 89 'brief biographies' at the end of the book
- and also for Thiselton's own brief but wise
comments." (Journal for the Study of the New
Testament, 1 November 2012)
"I can think of no person better qualified to write a
reception-history commentary than Anthony Thiselton, because he
knows what reception history means and how it plays out in
interpretation. This commentary is a treasure trove of exegetical
and theological insights gleaned from the vast and interesting
array of those who not only have interpreted these important
letters to the Thessalonians but have responded in prose and poetry
to their major themes and ideas."
--Stanley E. Porter, President and Dean, and
Professor of New Testament, McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada
"With an uncanny grasp of the "afterlife" of 1 and 2
Thessalonians, Anthony Thiselton demonstrates why it is crucial
that we understand that we aren't the first people to
encounter these Pauline letters. Not surprisingly, with this foray
into the emerging area of reception history, Anthony Thiselton has
set a high bar for those who will follow."
--Joel B. Green, Professor of New Testament
Interpretation, Fuller Theological Seminary
"It will be a key resource for all who would endeavour to
understand how Paul has been read and should be read. Lucid in
style, this volume is not only immensely scholarly it is also an
accessible and extremely enjoyable read!"
--Professor Alan J Torrance, Chair of Systematic
Theology, University of St Andrews
