The Case of Mark 13," Bruce J. Malina, Biblical Theology Bulletin,

- "The nineteenth-century
German theological terms 'apocalyptic' and 'eschatology' are misplaced and
misleading when applied to New Testament documents in general and to the
Synoptic final discourse in particular."

Apocalyptic, and World Transformation," David B. Batstone. Theology
Today, 1993.
- "It is often overlooked how
ideologically explosive the notion of the kingdom of God was within
Jesus' own social milieu. In first-century Palestine, it did not
have the same metaphorical and strictly religious connotation that
makes the term so safe within our own theological world. In fact, it
evoked the memory and visionary impulse of Yahweh who acts to
deliver Yahweh's 'chosen ones' from occupation and oppression at the
hands of alien nations. Intrinsic to that symbolic universe is the
conviction that the chosen suffer and the unjust prosper in the
present day only because history stands at the brink of a great
reversal."
