Sinopsis de PAUL AND THE PAROUSIA: AN EXEGETICAL AND THEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION

Surprisingly, there has never been a comprehensive exegetical study in English of Saint Paul''s view of the second coming, or Parousia, of Christ. In this methodical analysis, Joseph Plevnik brings nearly three decades of research to bear on the question of Paul''s understanding of this most central tenet of the whole Christ event. With careful attention to the concepts and terms underlying the notion of the Lord''s coming, Plevnik examines the key Pauline texts, such as 1 Thess 5:1-11 and 1 Cor 15:23-28. Plevnik then constructs a viable theological interpretation of the great Christian hope, including the language of hope, Christ''s parousia and judgment, conflict at Christ''s return, the place of the church, and Paul''s apocalyptic theology
