1 Thessalonians was written from Corinth, where the Apostle Paul stayed for some time during his missionary journeys.
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.
No, Thessalonians is not in the Old Testament. It is a book in the New Testament of the Bible.
The apostle Paul wrote 13 of the letters in the New Testament that bear his name. However, there is debate among scholars about whether he wrote all of the letters attributed to him in the New Testament.
Some examples of St. Paul's letters in the New Testament are Romans, Corinthians (1 and 2), Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians (1 and 2), Timothy (1 and 2), Titus, and Philemon. These letters were written by St. Paul to various early Christian communities to address theological issues, provide guidance, and offer encouragement.
Both epistles were written by Paul, as noted very plainly in each in each greeting. The 2nd letter was probably written just a few months later, in an effort to firm up and bolster what Paul had written in his previous letter to a new, and somewhat easily swayed young church.
1 and 2 Thessalonians were written during Paul's Second Missionary Journey.
Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, Colossians, Ephesians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are traditionally attributed to Paul.Most scholars believe that Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philemon, Galatians, Philippians and 1 Thessalonians were written by Paul himself. Based on a computer analysis of the epistles attributed to Paul, A.Q. Morton believes that Philippians and 1 Thessalonians are not genuine, but this is a monority view.Colossians, Ephesians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus, and possibly Philippians and 1 Thessalonians, were written in the name of Paul, probably by his disciples or successors.
A:Critical scholars have reached a near consensus that Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Philemon and Romans. .Scholars say that 2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, Colossians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus were written by others in Paul's name, after his death..A minority view is that Paul may not have written 1 Thessalonians and Philippians.
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.

Chapter 2, verses 1-2 of 2 Thessalonians talks of rumours that the Second Coming of Jesus was about to occur. Verse 3 assures them that it was not to be. If Paul really wrote 2 Thessalonians, this reassurance would be a good reason for him to do so, but scholars are reported to be almost unanimous that Paul didd not write 2 Thessalonians - it was written in his name later in the century.
It is more formal
