What Are They Saying about Paul and the End Time? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780809145782)

The latest title in the Paulist Press series What Are They Saying About ...?, this book on Paul and the End Time presents the development of Pauline eschatological thought along with ongoing scholarly discussions about the death of Christ, the coming of Christ, the lordship of Christ, the end-time resurrection, the transformation, the interim existence and being with Christ. Ultimate salvation is realized through God's saving work in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although a past event, the death of Christ is considered since its saving effect and connection with the resurrection of Christ embraces the future resurrection. The parousia is a pivotal event that is the focus of Pauline hope and the climax of Christ's lordship. The resurrection and transformation of the faithful are the ways in which believers share in Christ's future coming. Being with Christ is the realization of the joyful hope of the faithful. +
