Preaching in Corinth in about 51, Paul …

Years: 51 - 51

Preaching in Corinth in about 51, Paul writes the two Epistles to the Thessalonians, in which he cautions his recently founded community of Christians at Thessalonica against thinking of the Second Coming of Jesus, which he expects imminently at this stage in his career, as an easy escape from trouble.

Reviewing his stay with them, expressing concern for their welfare, and encouraging them in suffering, he reassures them that those already dead will rise at the Second Coming and that certain signs will precede the end. (1 Thessalonians is the earliest Christian document known to exist. Some scholars maintain that 2 Thessalonians is by a later disciple of Paul.)

Paul is brought before Gallio, the Roman governor of Corinth, in 51.
