More than eighty years ago Albert Schweitzer posed a question of
enduring debate for New Testament scholarship. Did Jesus--and later
Paul--believe that the apocalyptic kingdom of God was about to
appear, bringing an end to this world? Indeed, what were the
eschatological teachings of Jesus and Paul? Is there any
appreciable continuity between the two? Ben Witherington takes a
hard look at the Gospel texts and makes a thorough and critical
assessment of Paul's eschatology. For each topic examined--the
language of imminence, the dominion of God, the community of
Christ, the Israel of God, the day of the Lord and the resurrection
of the dead--he compares and contrasts Jesus and Paul. The result
is an important contribution to our understanding of New Testament
eschatology. With the second millennium drawing to a close and
world events sparking the speculations of popular religious
imaginations, Witherington provides a timely and sober
re-examination of a topic too long neglected by serious
scholarship.
