Collected Studies on Pauline Literature and on the Book of Revelation

Raccolta di studi sulla letteratura paolina. A cura di Jan Lambrecht. La prima parte considera la concezione paolina della legge, le sue convinzioni escatologiche e la riflessione che Paolo sviluppa attorno alla risurrezione di Cristo e dei cristiani. La seconda parte del libro esamina l'ecclesiologia e la composizioni climatiche dell'Apocalisse. Most of these thirty collected studies were written in Rome. Two are translations from the Dutch; three have not been published previously. Some few studies address philological problems, but most try to explain the thought of the biblical text. There are full-fledged articles and also brief notes. Bringing them together in one volume will prove useful to students of Paul, of Pauline Literature and of The Book of Revelation. These essays are the result of years of teaching experience and extensive research. This book consists of two parts: Pauline and Deutero-Pauline Letters, the larger one, and The Book of Revelation, the smaller. The first part considers Paul's view of the law, his eschatological convictions and his reasoning regarding the resurrection of Christ and of the Christians. The second part examines the ecclesiology and the climatic composition of The Book of Revelation. The movement from judgments to blessings is carefully investigated.
