Abstract
The concept the day of the Lord in 2 Peter is, as a mythological expression,
an example of analogical language. However, the meaning of this
mytheme is not clear to modem people who do not share the mythological
world-view of the author of 2 Peter. Although the historical roots of
the day of the Lord has been thoroughly researched, the aspect of analogical language has not received much attention. The meaning of the day
of the Lord needs to be explored with the aid of a method which has the
capacity to probe the meaning of analogical language. The sociology of
knowledge offers such a method, especially with its potential to analyse
symbolic universes. This article is an attempt at applying the sociology
of knowledge to the day of the Lord in 2 Peter in order to render its
meaning for modern readers.
