Prevailing theories of apocalypticism assert that in a world that rebels against God, a cataclysmic battle between good and evil is needed to reassert Gods dominion. Emma Wasserman, a rising scholar of early Christian history, challenges this interpretation and reframes Pauls apocalyptic texts as myths about politics in the world of divinity.Wasserman argues that the most dominant historicalcritical theories about Christian apocalypticism are ahistorical and tend to work with apologetic formulations of Christs victory and the uniqueness of Christianity. Assessing Pauls claims about immanent war, divine enemies, and the transformation that will accompany Christs return, Wasserman sees him as envisioning a single, righteously ruled cosmic kingdom, the true nature of which will soon be revealed to all. A major scholarly contribution that ranges across Mediterranean and West Asian religious thought, this volume has broad implications for understanding Pauls myth of heroic submission as well as his most distinctive ethical teachings.
