In general, theological terms this study examines the interplay of
early Christian understandings of history, revelation, and
identity. The book explores this interaction through detailed
analysis of appeals to "mystery" in the Pauline letter collection
and then the discourse of previously hidden but newly revealed
mysteries in various second-century thinkers. T.J. Lang argues that
the historical coordination of the concealed/revealed binary ("the
mystery previously hidden but presently revealed") enabled these
early Christian authors to ground Christian claims - particularly
key ecclesial, hermeneutical, and christological claims - in
Israel's history and in the eternal design of God while at the same
time accounting for their revelatory newness. This particular
Christian conception of time gives birth to a new and totalizing
historical consciousness, and one that has significant implications
for the construction of Christian identity, particularly vis-a-vis
Judaism.
