- Title
When Will These Things Happen? A Study of Jesus as Judge in Matthew 21-25 (Paternoster Biblical Monographs).
- Authors
Nolland, John
- Abstract
Dependent on, but critical of Borg, this published dissertation argues that all the materials of Mt 21-25 connect Jesus with judgement in one way or another, either in connection with a prophetic identity or identity as a sage. Mt 24:4-35 is concerned with coming judgement upon Jerusalem; 24:36-25:46 is concerned with the eschatological return of Jesus. Though there is some tension between the narrative methods of the work and its concern to address the question of the historical Jesus, it does offer a challenge to portraits of the historical Jesus that neglect or partly neglect this broadly attested aspect of the Gospel portrayal of Jesus. More careful attention to what might be meant by considering Jesus as judge might have strengthened the work considerably.
