1 Thessalonians

-1 Thessalonians is the oldest of the letters - written in the 40s, maybe as early as 41 C.E.
-Scholars do not think 2 Thessalonians was written by Paul because it doesn't have the same urgency about the second coming.

“Fornication” in chapter 4 - we often read Paul as if Paul is obsessed with sex and the body, but this is not one of the places he is actually talking about sex.
In the letter's opening, Paul mentioned how they had turned away from idols (this gives us good reason to think that what follows is about idolatry and not sex!)
