| Summary: | Two tensions central to the study of Paul's letters in the last half century emerge with intriguing nuance in 1 Corinthians: the relation of Paul's apocalyptic language to various models of covenant history; and the relation of his cross-based epistemology to the letter's ethical discourse. A close reading of the disorienting ways Paul refers to time suggests certain ways of mediating (though not resolving) these tensions. With the help of analogies from music and poetry, this essay argues that the intersection of typological figure (e.g., 10:1-23) with temporal disruption and innovation (e.g., time being gathered up in 7:29) reveals a relational idiom that grounds Paul's distinctive messianic ethics at the juncture he designates the ends of the ages. |
