AB The subtitle helps to indicate the direction of this study, towards the eschatological ideas, from tribulation to restoration, and the biblical links to the doctrine of atonement. In the words of Albert Schweitzer: ‘the concept of the final Affliction contains the thought of atonement and purification’. The work has two objectives: first, to define the development of the concept of eschatological tribulation in the Jewish context of the late Second Temple period (200 bce–30 ce); and, secondly, to investigate the relation of these matters to the historical Jesus.
