Eadie’s last commentary on the New Testament—on the text of the Thessalonian epistles—is attentive to the minute details of the Greek text. Although he writes in the tradition of the great Greek scholars of his generation, he also provides original research on the text, tracing the arguments in Paul’s thinking and presenting thorough linguistic and exegetical notes. The final completion of Eadie’s commentary on 1 and 2 Thessalonians was interrupted by his death in 1876. Final editing and publication was arranged by his friend, John Cairns, yet the work remains substantially Eadie’s.
