Writing a dissertation is a grueling endeavor, often coupled with delays, difficulties, and challenges. I thank the Lord that my dissertation was completed and prepared for final acceptance in January 2014. 

In the process, my love for the Thessalonian Letters was deepened, my theological views were strengthened, and my research skills were enhanced.

Below are PDFs of chapters of the dissertation. While my view would be considered a minority view, I hope the study may be persuasive to some and thought-provoking for all.
