An excellent commentary by I. Howard Marshall! His writing is concise and yet full. One does not feel he has avoided issues or dealt with them briefly, yet the commentary is quite manageable.
The thing Marshall does the best is to trace the flow of thought throughout the book. He does this superbly.
The downside is Marshall is not Premillennial and considers the NT message about the future coming of the Lord in general terms of just plain "judgment". He does not see in these epistles (particularly 2Th 2) and more specific future timeline in view.
You will not find a whole abundance of exegetical information here, and so this commentary together with a more detailed one (Bruce or Wanamaker, or both) would serve one well in a study of these epistles.

This is what I often look for most--to get a sense of the whole book, where the author is going in his presentation.
