In modern theology, the traditional "last things" of Christian doctrine have largely been ignored. This volume takes the biblical vision of the future seriously once again, explaining its significance for the life of today's church.
Written by ten front-ranking Christian thinkers, The Last Things offers fresh interpretations of the major themes in eschatology -- the end of the world, the return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment. Recognizing that eschatology has been a source of disagreement in the history of the church, the contributors offer ecumenical perspectives that cast a promising image of the future for our postmodern culture.
