Description
Summary:Using the framework of a theologically-informed commentary on the Christian Scriptures, this essay will explore the Pauline concept of hope as well as the imagery of the lamb’s war. With a narrative approach, themes of eschatology will also inform the Quaker understanding of the Lamb’s war as a central metaphor in the ecclesial movement. Expanding from Paul’s words in Romans 5 and the Johannine language of the Lamb’s War in Revelation 17, this paper seeks to hermeneutically explore how hope is an essential truth necessary for the future of the Christian movement.
