While it is debated who wrote 2 Thessalonians, the usual argument is to put it later. Certainly the evidence points to early authorship, which then also points to Paul, which then puts it after 1 Thessalonians. So, no, it is not debated in terms of it being the first book written.

Where were First and Second Thessalonians written?

A:Both 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians are traditionally believed to have been written by Paul in Athens. This may well be true of 1 Thessalonians, but most New Testament scholars say that 2 Thessalonians was actually written in Paul's name long after his death. As with any pseudepigraphical work, we can not assume that the intended audience really were the Christians of Thessalonica, nr that it was written from where Paul was supposed to have been writing.Paul had thought the end was coming in his own lifetime and that Jesus would return without warning, and in 1 Thessalonians had assured his readers that this would be the case. With the passage of time, this was clearly not the case and the author of 2 Thessalonians used Paul's name to correct this, arguing that the end would not come right away and that certain things would happen first to warn Christians that Jesus was returning.
