This volume explores the concept of time and that of the form of life in the apocalyptic messianism of St. Paul through an intense dialogue with Giorgio Agamben. The Italian philosopher identifies ? ??? ?a???? (ho nyn kairos), meaning "the now time," in St. Paul's thought as the core of his messianic thinking, which stimulates a wide range of theological and philosophical discussions. These include questions such as these: what is (end) time?; what constitutes life?; and who is the messiah for St. Paul? Given the multiplicity of interconnected themes, an interdisciplinary approach is adopted for this research. In addition to theological inquiry, philosophical and biblical hermeneutics are actively employed to analyze Pauline texts and to engage rigorously with Agamben's interpretation of the messianic possibilities that the Apostle's writings offer for the world today. Thus, in the final chapter, the discussion focuses on the possibility of practicing messianic time and life in the present world. This is achieved by examining the crises facing today's world, such as migration, war, and the existential struggles of humanity within a capitalist society.
