RT Article T1 The Jesus Tradition in 1 Thess 4.13–5.11 JF New Testament studies VO 48 IS 2 SP 225 OP 242 A1 Kim, Seyoon 1946- LA English YR 2002 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1785737368 AB The Thessalonians' grief about the dead believers and their anxiety about the date of the parousia arose mainly out of their inadequate understanding of the eschatological sayings of Jesus which Paul had delivered to them. Therefore, in 1 Thess 4.13–5.11 Paul seeks to resolve the problems by helping them understand those sayings properly in the light of the fundamental saving event of Christ's death and resurrection.
