«Michael E. Peach’s fine investigation of Paul’s use of Jewish and Greco-Roman imagery in 1 Thess. 4:13–18 weighs the evidence with skill and care and helps us see how Paul synthesized material from various backgrounds to paint a picture of Christ’s apocalyptic triumph which could provide the Thessalonians with a hope even more profound than the challenges they faced. It will enrich the understanding of students and scholars alike.»(Roy E. Ciampa, Manager of Biblical Scholarship and Integrated Training, Nida Institute, American Bible Society, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)«I am happy to commend Michael E. Peach’s work on 1 Thessalonians 4. This book adds to the knowledge of Paul’s letters through its painstaking analysis of the passage.

Readers will also benefit from the survey on Paul and apocalyptic thought provided at the beginning of the work.»(Sean M.
