Heilig ins Eschaton - Heiligung und Heiligkeit als eschatologische Konzeption im 1. Thessalonicherbrief

In Christian tradition, sanctification and sanctity are terms often associated with ethical progress and idealism. This study, however, demonstrates that in Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians, the earliest extant Christian writing, sanctity refers not to ethical idealism, but exclusively to God's eschatological realm.
