The contemporary study of Jewish apocalypticism today recognizes the wealth and diversity of ancient traditions concerned with the "unveiling" of heavenly matters--understood to involve revealed wisdom, the revealed resolution of time, and revealed cosmology--in marked contrast to an earlier focus on eschatology as such. The shift in focus has had a more direct impact on the study of ancient "pseudepigraphic" literature, however, than in New Testament studies, where the narrower focus on eschatological expectation remains dominant. In this Companion, an international team of scholars draws out the implications of the newest scholarship for the variety of New Testament writings. Each entry presses the boundaries of current discussion regarding the nature of apocalypticism in application to a particular New Testament author. The cumulative effect is to reveal, as never before, early Christianity, its Christology, cosmology, and eschatology, as expressions of tendencies in Second Temple Judaism.

Eschatology is not necessarily a point of departure in apocalyptic writings and the revelation of heavenly mysteries. The book focuses on the disclosure of wisdom, the role of angels in the gospels, heavenly visions by e.g. Paul and John the Revelator, and the way the early church treated revelations and prophecies as part of their practices. Apocalyptic literature gives hope to the righteous by looking beyond death. God's plans, natural phenomena, Christology, and pointing the way to get saved are some of the functions these revelations have. Knowledge of Greek is not mandatory, but certainly helpful studying the references. The book costs you 15+ hours of reading but will refresh your knowledge and understanding of the New Testament. ( )
