Eschatology and the Covenant: A Comparison of 4 Ezra and Romans 1-11 - Bloomsbury Academic Collections: Biblical Studies
Bruce Longenecker
This extensive analysis compares Paul with the author of 4 Ezra against the background of a form of Jewish covenantalism prominent in the first century. The apocalyptic author of 4 Ezra and the apocalyptic thinker Paul share a common displacement from the covenantal "pattern of religion" evidenced in the texts of many of their contemporaries. Both authors went far beyond common perceptions of the ways of Israel's God and arrived at completely different solutions to the problem of the human condition.
