Klappentext C. Marvin Pate (PhD, Marquette University) is professor of biblical studies at Ouachita Baptist University. He is the author and editor of numerous works, including Four Views on the Book of Revelation; The Writings of John: A Survey of the Gospel, Epistles, and Apocalypse; Romans (Teach the Text Commentary Series); and From Plato to Jesus. "Paul's inaugurated eschatology was the determining factor in how the apostle understood the gospel, why he evangelized the world, and how he instructed his converts to live 'in between the times.' In clear and concise terms, Pate takes us through the thicket of first-century ideas about the end of the world--Jewish and Greco-Roman--and explains why reading Paul apocalyptically not only helps us understand his letters, but also reveals why Paul's opponents attacked him. Pate masterfully reveals why we shouldn't make the same mistake as Paul's opponents, thereby missing the heart of the gospel according to Paul."--Rodney Reeves"Southwest Baptist University" (11/01/2013)
