Thanks for the installment, Frank. As I'm sure you know, Gerd Lüdemann has
recently argued that 2 Thess was written not so much to correct as to
replace/supplant 1 Thess, understanding 2 Thess 2.2 to allude to the first
letter as a false document. He gave his view as a paper here in Cambridge
last year, and I think it is part of his book _Heretics: The Other Side of
Early Christianity_. I suspect someone has already argued this, but he is
pushing the argument a bit further than anyone else I've seen.
