Paul and the Thessalonians : The Philosophic Tradition of Pastoral Care PDF
by Abraham J. Malherbe

Description
"This book deals with Paul's practice rather than his theology.
It especially traces the way in which Paul established a church in the important city of Thessalonica, the capital city of the Roman province of Macedonia, maintained contact with it in order to ensure its continuing nurture, and instructed its members on how to care for one another.
Rather than simply organize a church, Paul founded, shaped, and nurtured a community.
In so doing, he was sensitive to the needs of individuals within the community who had committed themselves to new beliefs and a new way of life.
Paul was, in fact, engaged in pastoral care, although he does not describe the enterprise in that manner."--from the Introduction
