Christian Hope - Henri Blocher

Questions about the future, the end times, judgment, and the afterlife—not to mention Israel, the millennium, and the Antichrist—are the subject of much debate in the Christian world. Yet these themes are not merely topics of controversy: they also carry both anxieties and hopes. This book aims to provide a status report by examining biblical data and guiding the reader in their reflection on the various facets of Christian hope.

Henri Blocher, honorary dean and long-time professor of systematic theology at the Faculté libre de théologie évangélique (Vaux-sur-Seine), is the well-known author of several books in English and French, including *Révélation des origines*, *Le mal et la croix*, *La Doctrine du péché et de la rédemption*, and *La Doctrine du Christ*.
