This is the Baymau podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today, we step into the context of the church in Thessalonica and examine the theme of Parusia.

Yes.

Do we get to know what that means right away or do we have to wait until later in the episode?

Yeah, you have to wait.

Okay.

But I will say, many people say Parusia.

Oh.

I have always said Parusia. I feel like more people say Parusia. So I can be wrong.

Baymau, Bima, Bima.

Parusia, Parusia.

I don't know. Apparently I put all my syllables in all the wrong spots, especially when I'm not speaking English.

So what language is this word in?

Greek.

Which is what ruined my GPA. So more on that later.

Next episode, I'll talk a little about how much I hate the Greek language.

Oh, well, here we go. Paul, he also pins two letters to the church in Thessalonica.

There are plenty of commentaries to deal with the context of Thessalonica.

And I got to be honest with you and all of our listeners, Brent.

I haven't had the opportunity to study the context of Thessalonica like I would like to.

Ooh, I didn't put this in your notes, Brent. Let's add another book.

I can't remember how much Crossen dealt with Thessalonica, but in search of Paul, I believe we've recommended it before, maybe.

I believe so.
