520 _aEarly Christian writings share an understanding that believers live in the end-times. This leads to the common expectation, the common hope, that God would one day achieve final and ultimate victory in the coming of Jesus. This book traces the origins of this understanding in the Old Testament, in prophetic literature, in Jewish apocalyptic writings, and in the New Testament. The resulting map informs the church of today that still lives between the times.
