I’m trying to study for my Philosophy course and I need some help to understand this question.

Week #13 Assessment

Please answer the following question.

Why was the issue of the “end-time” so critical to the Thessalonian church? Why was Paul so harsh toward those in Thessalonica who had stopped working? What metaphors does Paul use to describe himself to the Thessalonian church? Why might he have chosen these particular metaphors? Exclusively use the reading material for this week and the Online Lecture to support your argument.
