In this ground-breaking study of Paul, Dr Adams focuses on Paul''s understanding and use of cosmological concepts, such as ''world'' and ''creation''.Adams brings to bear the most recently developed disciplines, including ''critical linguistics'', to the interpretation of Pauline texts, showing up, for example, the differing perspectives on the world of 1 Corinthians and Romans.He examines Paul''s historical and social context and illuminates the whole cosmological project of Pauline Christianity.

Aims to establish and explore New Testament belief in the end of the world through an investigation of texts which contain 'end of the world' language. This book engages with discussion on how Jewish and early Christian 'end of the world' was meant to be understood, and interacts especially with NT Wright's proposals.
