A Unique Study of Pauline Eschatology that Is Both Exegetical and
Theological One of the trajectories coming out of Constantine
Campbell's award-winning book Paul and Union with Christ is the
significance of eschatology for the apostle. Along with union with
Christ, eschatology is a feature of Paul's thinking that affects
virtually everything else. While union with Christ is the "webbing"
that joins Paul's thought together, eschatology provides the
"shape" of his thought, and thus gives shape to his teaching about
justification, resurrection, the cross, ethics, and so forth. There
is considerable debate, however, about Paul's eschatology, asking
whether he is a "covenant" or an "apocalyptic" theologian. In Paul
and the Hope of Glory Campbell conducts a thorough exegetical study
of the relevant elements of Paul's eschatological language,
metaphors, and images including "parousia," "the last day,"
"inheritance," "hope," and others. He examines each passage in
context, aiming to build inductively an overall sense of Paul's
thinking. The results of this exegetical study then feed into a
theological study that demonstrates the integration of Paul's
eschatological thought into his overall theological framework. The
study is comprised of three parts: The first part introduces the
key issues--both exegetical and theological--and sets the
parameters and methodology of the book. It also offers an
historical survey of the scholarly work produced on Paul's
eschatology through the twentieth century to the present day. The
second part contains the detailed exegetical analysis, with
chapters on each important Pauline phrase, metaphor, and image
related to eschatology. The third part turns its attention to
theological synthesis. It recapitulates relevant conclusions from
the evidence adduced in part two and launches into theological
discussion engaging current issues and debates. This volume
combines high-level scholarship and a concern for practical
application of a topic currently debated in the academy and the
church. More than a monograph, this book is a helpful reference
tool for students, scholars, and pastors to consult its treatment
of any particular instance of any phrase or metaphor that relates
to eschatology in Paul's thinking.
