In his book, `The Sign`, Robert Van Kampen discusses the term PAROUSIA. He
has an interesting insight. He writes, "PAROUSIA is best defined as
`presence` and implies an event with many activities associated with it
(p.318)." Then VanKampen states in a technical note, "PAROUSIA does not
carry the idea of movement, although that idea is often implied (p.327)."
Does anyone have some interesting illustrations of PAROUSIA from the
Classical Literature that might add some color to Van Kampen's insight? I
would like to use them for a Christmas message about the coming of Christ.
And, do you feel that his definitional nuance of PAROUSIA is accurate?
Thankful for this list!
