Katechon

II Thess 2,1-12 im Horizont apokalyptischen Denkens
  • Paul Metzger
Language: German
Published/Copyright: 2005

About this book

The Second Epistle to the Thessalonians develops a scenario for the end of time in which the "Katechon", a power that is not clearly defined, prevents the appearance of the Antichrist and Christ's return.

Against the background of ancient texts, this study examines the question of what or who is meant by this "Katechon", and what significance this "Katechon" has for the history of salvation. At the same time, the author reveals how the early Christians perceived themselves and their place in history.

Reviews

"Die Untersuchung ist gut lesbar, argumentiert klar. Sie bietet eine überzeugende Zusammenstellung retardierender Faktoren in jüdischen und christlichen apokalyptischen Szenarien gegen Ende des 1. Jahrhunderts n.Chr. Ausserdem ist sie sehr sorgfältig lektoriert."
Michael Kannenberg in: Theologische Zeitschrift 3/2006

"Il a le mérite d'apporter un éclairage nouveau."
J.-P. Sterck-Degueldre in: Revue Théologique de Louvain 2/2006

"Eine klug argumentierende und schlüssig aufgebaute Dissertationsarbeit, die einen wichitgen Impuls für die Rekonstruktion antik-christlicher Eschatologie bietet."
Tobias Nicklas in: Bibel und Liturgie 4/2005

"La argumentación y la comparación fenomenológica aquí presentada es muy persuasiva."
D. A. Cineira in: Estudio Agustiniano 3/2005
