Thessalonica, Or The Model Church: A Sketch Of Primitive Christianity is a book written by Horace Lorenzo Hastings and first published in 1861. The book is a historical and theological exploration of the early Christian church in Thessalonica, a city in ancient Greece that played an important role in the spread of Christianity in the first century.Hastings provides a detailed analysis of the social, cultural, and religious context in which the church in Thessalonica emerged, and examines the teachings and practices of the early Christians in the city. He argues that the Thessalonian church was a model of primitive Christianity, characterized by its devotion to Christ, its commitment to spreading the gospel, and its strong sense of community.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the Thessalonian church. Hastings discusses topics such as the role of the apostles in establishing the church, the nature of Christian worship and prayer, the importance of love and unity among believers, and the challenges faced by the early Christians in a hostile and pagan society.Thessalonica, Or The Model Church is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the early church. It offers a compelling portrait of a community of believers who, despite facing persecution and opposition, remained steadfast in their faith and commitment to Christ.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
