The genre of 1 Thessalonians is epistolary (letter) and falls under the category of Pauline Epistle.
It is one of the letters (or epistles) written by the Apostle Paul to early Christian communities. Specifically, 1 Thessalonians was written to the church in Thessalonica to encourage them in their faith, address concerns about the second coming of Christ, and offer practical advice on living a holy life.
In this letter, Paul combines teachings, exhortations, and personal reflections, which are typical of the epistolary genre.
