The 1974 estimate by Interpretation that Ernest Best's volume on 1 & 2 Thessalonians "is probably the best exegetical study of 1 and 2 Thessalonians available ... a superb commentary" continues to ring true forty years later. This is indeed one of the finest commentaries on 1 & 2 Thessalonians available-in any language. The Journal of Theological Studies called it "exhaustive" and concluded that the commentary is "reliable, judicious, and nearly always lucid. He [Best] ... takes us as far as we can reasonably go in understanding the mind of Paul as it expressed itself in these writings."
