The Jewish narrative, rooted in Second Temple Judaism, envisions a linear history culminating in the Day of the LORD, resurrection, and a renewed heavens and earth. 

In contrast, the Greek redemptive narrative, influenced by Platonic dualism, views salvation as escape from a corrupt material world into an immaterial realm. 

The Roman narrative, shaped by imperial theology, interprets divine sovereignty as fulfilled through the Roman state, later, the church. 

Augustine synthesized the Greek and Roman models, identifying the kingdom of God with both the immaterial heavenly destiny and the institutional church. The Middle Ages institutionalized this synthesis, marginalizing the Jewish narrative. 

Later developments included dispensationalism, which combined Greek and Jewish elements, and Inaugurationalism, which blended Jewish and Roman frameworks. 

These theological shifts often spiritualized or politicized biblical promises, moving away from their Jewish historical context. Despite these developments, revival and reformation movements periodically revived aspects of the Jewish apocalyptic hope. 

Ultimately, the session calls for recovering Paul’s original framework, resisting synthetic theologies, and recognizing how the biblical narrative is anchored in Jewish apocalyptic expectations concerning the return of the Messiah and the coming Messianic Kingdom. -  John P.
