Summary: "This book offers the first detailed analysis of 'mystery' and the accompanying discourse of new revelation in early Christianity. It explores how various authors, beginning with Paul, appealed to previously hidden but newly revealed mysteries in order to ground Christian claims in the eternal design of God while at the same time accounting for their revelatory newness. This gives birth to a new and totalizing Christian historical consciousness."--Back cover.
