Revealing the Mysterion: The Use of Mystery in Daniel and Second Temple Judaism with its Bearing on First Corinthians
Scholars
largely agree that the NT term 'mysterion' is a terminus technicus,
originating from Daniel. This project traces the word in the Dead Sea
Scrolls and other sectors of Judaism. Like Daniel, the term consistently
retains eschatological connotations. The monograph then examines how
mystery functions within 1 Corinthians and seeks to explain why the term
is often employed. The apocalyptic term concerns the Messiah reigning
in the midst of defeat, eschatological revelations and tongues,
charismatic exegesis, and the transformation of believers into the image
of the last Adam.
