Summary
In Ephesians, theological and cosmological concepts are connected in an unusual manner. Rainer Schwindt analyzes the 'cosmological hermeneutics' found in Ephesians from the standpoint of the history of religion and explores its position in the early Christian history of theology. He bases his comparative study on the spiritual understanding of salvation in Alexandrian Judaism and the demonological paradigm of the Platonic line of tradition. As a unity of Jewish and pagan Christians, the church is the new »Daimonion,« which warns the cosmic powers of God's salvation, his pleroma.
