who wrote 1 thessalonians

Paul wrote 1 Thessalonians. The letter is traditionally dated to around AD 51 and is considered one of the earliest Pauline epistles, written to the church in Thessalonica from Corinth during Paul’s second missionary journey. The opening greeting names Paul along with Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy, but the stylistic and theological characteristics are widely regarded as Pauline, reflecting Paul’s pastoral concern for a young church facing persecution and questions about the end times.
