Description: Kerygma, Eschatology, and Social Ethics (Stapled Booklet) by Amos N. Wilder, Peter S. Hawkins "The eschatological and dualistic symbolism of the early Christians has misled us into thinking that the Gospel in its classic period has no concern with what we call social change," writes Wilder. Saint Pauls apparently conservative social views must be understood in light of his expectation of Christs imminent return; his is an "emergency ethic." But going beyond Pauls explicit social teachings to his kerygmatic affirmations, we see that the "principalities and powers" over which Christ has triumphed also refer to the corrupted structures of society. The social-ethical significance of the kerygma becomes discernible as soon as we learn to interpret the mythological expressions of the New Testament in historical terms.

Review ""A man of letters in the best sense of the term, Amos Wilder was an important scholar of the New Testament, a foundational figure in the study of the Bible through the techniques of literary criticism, a poet, and a sensitive critic of Modernist literature. All of his books are valuable for anyone interested in the intellectual history of the twentieth century, and in their own right for their thoughtful analysis of significant religious and literary issues."" --Christopher J.
