1 Thessalonians (Book 52/66) – A Book Written by Paul to Specific Churches
While this is the last letter from Paul to a church in the canon of scripture, it is the earliest New Testament book. It was written to the church Thessalonica, located in Greece, around 49 AD, around 16 years after Christ’s resurrection. 1 Thessalonians encourages believers in their faith, addresses concerns about the return of Christ, and urges holy living. It emphasizes the hope of Christ's return and the importance of living a life that pleases God. Paul's exhortations to remain steadfast and hopeful point to Jesus.
