| Summary: | The aim of this study is to identify the issues which need to be addressed if scholarship is to recover the eschatological teaching of Jesus. Eight areas are distinguished: (1) definition of terms used in the academic study of apocalyptic and eschatology; (2) the cultural presuppositions and orientation of the scholar; (3) evaluation of the sources; (4) the kingdom of God and Son of man sayings; (5) the relationship between Judaism and its hellenistic environment; (6) the wisdom and apocalyptic traditions; (7) the impact of the destruction of Jerusalem on the transmission of the Gospel traditions; (8) the notion of human partnership with God in Second Temple Judaism. While it is not possible at present to resolve these issues, this study aims to identify some of the outstanding issues behind the wider problem of the eschatological teaching of Jesus. |
