Description
Book SynopsisPaul, John, and Apocalyptic Eschatology offers fresh studies by leading New Testament scholars. It considers Paul’s use of tradition, his views on Christian life in the light of mysticism and eschatology. It also discusses the identity formation of the “Johannine community” and the role of “exaltation” in the Fourth Gospel. The focus on apocalyptic eschatology is broadened by studies on the reception of Pauline eschatology, the dating of Revelation, and chiliasm. The collection is complemented by a study on the text of John 3:13 and one on the coinage of the name “Ambrosiaster.”
Trade Review"Paul, John, and Apocalyptic Eschatology is a fitting collection designed to honor Martinus C. de Boer. It offers the keen reflections of several senior scholars and serves as a foray into the primary areas of interest of the one whom this Festschrift rightly honors." – J. Brian Tucker, Moody Theological Seminary, in: Biblical Theology Bulletin 46 (2016) "The essays by Tuckett, Gaventa, and Collins are particularly useful or interesting (...) this book serves as a fitting tribute to a scholar of depth and originality." – Christopher W. Skinner, Mount Olive College, in: Religous Studies Review 41/1 (2016)
