To Tell the Mystery: Essays on New Testament Eschatology in Honor of Robert H. Gundry

The eschatology at the core of the New Testament has been one of the scholarly interests of Robert Gundry, of Westmont College in Santa Barbara, California. In this Festschrift for Gundry, twelve contributors, (representing scholarship from several countries, several traditions, and several generations), examine eschatological themes in Matthew (Birger Gerhardsson and Donald Hagner), the Synoptic Gospels I (vol 1.) Howard Marshall) 2 Corinthians (Jan Lambrecht), Galatians (Moises Silva), 1 Corinthians (Judith Gundry-Volf), Colossians (James D. G. Dunn), 2 Thessalonians (Gordon D. Fee), 1 John (D. A. Carson), Revelation (Thomas E. Schmidt), and the New Testament in general (Michael Goulder and J. Ramsey Michaels).
