Essential Truths About Eschatology
The current era is both captivated by things of the end, while seeking to evacuate from general thought the reality that the end of the world is approaching and that this has a direct impact on every human being.
In the Church too, there are opposing and often inconsistent attitudes. On the one hand, some are so obsessed with these things that they make it seem like this is the sum total of the gospel message. Others, often in reaction, even refuse to integrate the notion of eschatology into their thoughts.
The author seeks to compensate for this imbalance by presenting the biblical message about "the things of the end" in an orderly, faithful and concrete manner. After defining what eschatology is, he underlines its personal dimension (we will all die one day) and general dimension (the last day). Then he applies the biblical message by connecting the end with the notion of the kingdom of God, before examining the attitude that the Church must have as it moves towards this great deadline.
A book fundamentally anchored in the Bible, which also presents what many theologians and biblical commentators have taught. Time is running toward its end – such is the hope of God’s people!
