The Practice of Hope - Ideology and Intention in 1 Thessalonians (Hardcover)

In Not Like Those Who Have No Hope, Nestor O. Miguez brings the insights of historical-critical study and political analysis together with incisive theological reflection. Taking on European philosophical interpretations of Paul, the North Atlantic consensus regarding social stratification in the Pauline churches, and the distortions of rapture theology, Miguez situates Pauls mission in the political context of Roman Thessalonica and reads his first letter in engagement with Latin American realities. The result is a surprising rediscovery of Paul as an organic intellectual for whom hope is always a socially concrete reality
