Pagan utopia - nature is self-generating and worthy of worship. No creator because there was no creation. No transcendence- WYSIWYG.
Christian utopia begins with creator/creature distinction. God exists independently of creation as Creator of life. Begins with God's act of creation and concludes with His act of recreation. Teleological - not cyclical.
Elementary christian philo 101 - but it gets better...
Paul was not your average rabbi - but the "apostle to the pagans"
