| Summary: | Do early Jewish and Christian traditions of eschatological salvation include the possibility of an inferior or diminished state of ‘being saved’ for certain individuals? This article explores the possibility that both 1 Cor. 3.10-15 and 1 En. 50.1-5 represent either a common eschatological tradition or similar rhetorical strategy. Each passage is evaluated in its own literary setting with a view to determining its author’s rhetorical objective. The results are compared in order to ascertain whether Paul employs an eschatological description of ‘being saved without honor’, which also appears in early Jewish literature and, if so, whether he does this on grounds uniquely his own. |
