Title: Re: [Corpus-Paul] Paul the Author

Permit me to rephrase: maintaining that 2 Thess is pseudonymous requires answering Malherbe's defense of its Pauline authorship. Stan Stowers anticipated a significant element of this defense with his remark in A REREADING OF ROMANS that many deny 2 Thess to Paul out of distaste for the eschatology of chap. 2 and the desire to avoid attributing this to Paul.

 The best example of this approach is Wolfgang Trilling, Untersuchungen zum Zweiten Thessalonicherbrief.  His synthetic approach, I think, changed a lot of minds in Germany about the authorship of 2 Thessalonians.

One must see now Abraham Malherbe's AB on Thessalonians, which makes a sober case for Pauline authorship of 2 Thess (not driven by theological commitments, as Malherbe takes the Pastorals as pseudonymous), including response to Trilling's various arguments.
