Paul's apocalyptic theology / J. Christiaan Beker -- Paul's narrative hope / N. T. Wright.
Summary: Two main schools of thought organize the field of play for Paul - apocalyptic and narrative. Apocalyptic, rooted in Second Temple mystical Judaism, emphasizes the disjunctive. Both the cross and resurrection are read as cosmic commentary on the abolishment of all and the advent of the brand new. Narrative, rooted in the Old Testament's covenant promises, emphasizes continuity. The cross and resurrection are read inside the covenant to show fulfillment. Here, in one volume of two acclaimed Pauline scholars - J. Christaan Beker and N. T. Wright - the difference becomes evident. While the cross and resurrection of Jesus stand at the center of Paul's theological enterprise, they disagree on how to interpret the death and resurrection: as apocalyptic or as covenant fulfillment.
