| Zusammenfassung: | Rejecting contemporary theological treatments of Paul's apocalypticism as inadequate, this paper uses the emergence of apocalyptic Christianity at Thessalonica as test case for examining the dialectic between social reality and ideas in the formation of one particular Pauline apocalyptic community. After setting out a paradigmatic structure from which to analyze apocalyptic Christianity at Thessalonica based on contemporary studies of millenarian movements and sociology of religion in general, the paper attempts to explain the origin of Christianity at Thessalonica as a millenarian movement. In doing this the dialectic between social reality and Paul's apocalyptic ideas comes into clearer focus. |
