An honor and shame reading of 1 Thessalonians reveals that Paul wrote the letter as a riposte to a series or challenges that emanated from the young congregation. In combining this reading with a consideration of the role of praise and blame as ancient epistolary devices, this study reconciles the letter's defensiveness with what has long been recognized as its "warmth".
