Be sure you have mastered the hand-out on early Christian eschatology. Many of these items will apply to the questions below. All items on that handout are possible questions for the quiz.
Paul believes that the resurrection of Jesus is not just about one man but it foreshadows a general resurrection of the dead. How does he express the matter and from what Old Testament text might he derive this notion?
And how does the standard Greek Orthodox icon of the resurrection make this clear? How does one participate in the general resurrection to come?
Where are the disciples at the end of Mark’s Gospel? Where is Jesus going to appear according to Mark 16;7-8 and why is this significant?
How is the role of circumcision according to Gen 17? What problems does the early Christian community in Acts 15 face regarding Jewish law? What did this first church council propose as a solution?
Compare the concerns of Matthew 5:17-48 and Acts 15 on the nature of the Jewish law.
Explain the significance of Acts 1:6-11 for understanding early Christian eschatology.
Seitz writes in Word Without End: The Old Testament as Abiding Theological Witness (Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 1998), page 227: "the larger point is that the horizon of Isaiah in respect of royal promises is not a past fulfillment in Jesus that validates Christian hopes and invalidates those of Jews." Explain.
