Scholars largely agree that the NT term 'mysterion' is a terminus technicus, originating from "Daniel". This project traces the word in the Dead Sea Scrolls and other sectors of Judaism. Like "Daniel", the term consistently retains eschatological connotations. The monograph then examines how mystery functions within "1 Corinthians" and seeks to explain why the term is often employed. The apocalyptic term concerns the Messiah reigning in the midst of defeat, eschatological revelations and tongues, charismatic exegesis, and the transformation of believers into the image of the last Adam.
