Description: "Paul, John, and Apocalyptic Eschatology offers fresh studies by leading New Testament scholars. It considers Paul{u2019}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.'" -- Publisher's description.
