From the Inside Flap
1 & 2 ThessaloniansThe Thessalonian epistles are probably best known for what they reveal about the last days. But there is much more to these letters than just end times prophecy. At their core, they underscore the marks of a healthy chruch, addressing such practical matters as moral purity, disciplined living, church relationships, prayer, and church discipline.Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk.

This review is from: First & Second Thessalonians MacArthur New Testament Commentary (Macarthur New Testament Commentary Serie) (Hardcover)
John MacArthur is a solid expositor indeed and this book is no exception. I do like John Stott's book on Thessalonians better however. I think Stott has more insightful commentary where MacArthur is a straight ahead interpretor. One strength of MacArthur's book is that he provides ready cross-references to parallel scripture verses saving one from continually flipping pages to find related verses. Overall this is a good commentary although you need to realize that MacArthur is a pre-mil dispensationalist which is reflected in this book.
