| Summary: | Paul Metzger, in a revised version of a thesis of 2004 at the Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, seeks to solve the apparently intractable riddle of the neuter (or should it be masculine?) participle katechon in 2 Thess. 2: 6–7. His method is to concentrate on the historical context and exegesis of this chapter of the letter. He then discusses parallel motifs in 2 Peter 3:3–13; Rev. 5:1–5; 6:9–11; and 7:1–8; 4 Ezra 4:33–43; the Syriac Apocalypse of Baruch; and Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum 51. 3–6 of Pseudo-Philo. He also draws comparisons with the Synoptic Apocalypse (Mark 13 and parallels) and with Qumran (1Qp Hab 7 and 1Q 27). |
