Books in the Apocalypticism series

Michael E. Peach provides a fresh examination of imagery in 1 Thess. 4:13-18 arguing that Paul synthesizes both the Jewish and Greco-Roman imagery. With careful analysis, Peach traces the history of interpretation of Pauline eschatology finding patterns of thought concerning the source of inspiration of Paul's use of imagery.

This book fills a gap left by much critical scholarship on the Qur'an, arguing that the earliest surahs are logical, clear, and intelligible compositions, and elucidating the apocalyptic context of the Qur'an's most archaic layers.
