he believers in Thessalonica had a problem. In fact, they had several problems. They were under attack by not only state and local authorities, but by pretenders to the faith who were out to subvert and control them. The two letters written to them embody key truths repeated many times in many ways to aid them in the fight for their faith. The three main points put forth in amazingly helpful detail covered:

1. The truth and authority of the Scriptures.
2. The certainty of eternal life they had attained.

3. The victory they now had in their lives and how to best live it out.

   We can easily see why these books are so relevant today as those who have trusted Jesus Christ face the same challenges faced by the Thessalonians.

   Gordon Haresign, internationally known author, professor, speaker, and chairman of the board of directors of Scripture Union, speaking about the Dynamic Bible Studies series produced by Scheeren, has said, These are among the finest, if not the finest, inductive Bible studies available today. I strongly endorse them."

   This sentiment was echoed by Dr. Dilo Paul, a materials scientist, who said, "I love these studies as they guide me through finding the answers to questions that arise during Bible study from the Bible itself."

   Steve White, Ph.D., author, church consultant and Executive Pastor of the Mountain Life Church in the greater Salt Lake area, said, "Fred hits a great blend of commentary, historical context, and practical application. The study questions are clear, thought-provoking and relevant. I could easily recommend this for either individual or group study."

   Robert T. Mason, former executive at an international firm and in his second career as a pastor said, "Fred has done it again!! He has a great way of opening up and explaining the Word of God."
