The phrase "an over-realized eschatology" seems to get a run from time to time in theological discussions (example ) or blog posts (example ). Who first coined this phrase* and in what context were they using it?
In my own research, it appears that C.H. Dodd promoted a "realized eschatology ". Was "over-realized eschatology" coined in the context of a critique of Dodd's eschatology?
*or semantic equivalent if its first appearance in English was a translation.
