Book of 2 Thessalonians

2 Thessalonians is the name of a book in the New Testament of the Bible. In many Christian Bibles, 2 Thessalonians is divided into 3 chapters and is ordered as the 14th of the 27 books in the New Testament. The following is from J.B. Tidwell's The Bible Book by Book, published in 1916.

This letter was also written from Corinth and during the same year. It is the shortest letter Paul wrote to any church and is characterized by its lack of special salutations and for its general idea of patient waiting for our Lord. The occasion seems to be to correct their wrong views of the second coming of Christ and the errors of life growing out of it. It may be that they had misunderstood his own teaching to be that the day of the Lord was already at hand (2:2).
